Report: Giants’ Steve Tisch pushed John Mara to fire Joe Judge

The New York Giants have wasted their fans’ time the past five years by thinking they could put band-aids on gunshot wounds hoping that some divine intervention they would turn them back into winners.

Heading into the 2022 season, the Giants are devoid of talent with 60 percent of their salary cap dedicated to seven players, none who can be considered a “franchise” player.

Co-owner Steve Tisch apparently pleaded with his partner, John Mara, to ‘blow up’ the model two years ago and start from the ground up. Mara balked and stayed the course, giving general manager Dave Gentleman a vote of confidence and Joe Judge was hired as the head coach.

You know the rest. The Giants have been going downhill with no brakes ever since. They finally crashed last week when they were embarrassed by a marginal Washington team at home in a game that saw the coaching staff basically circle the wagons and surrender.

Gettleman chose to retire before the team got a chance to fire him but Mara waffled on Judge, who was clearly in over his head after finishing 10-23.

This time around, Tisch convinced Mara it was time to let go of the past and move forward, reports Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News.
