Jerry Reese fired, Dave Gettleman hired

In 2016, the Giants finished 11-5 and qualified for the NFC Playoffs only to get crushed by the Green Bay Packers. That broke a string of three consecutive losing seasons, but in 2017 the Giants were back to their losing ways.

Head coach Ben McAdoo had been heavily criticized for his style in handling discipline (see: boat trip) and his overall ability to sit in the big chair. The bungling of the Eli Manning benching was the final straw. He was canned in December along with general manager Jerry Reese, who should have been gone well before that after years of terrible drafts.

The team hired former Carolina Panthers GM Dave Gettleman to take over he immediately restored some semblance of order to the locker room.
