EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Dave Gettleman "retired" as general manager of the New York Giants on Monday after four dreadful years on the job. The Giants' 19-46 record during his tenure says it all about whether this decision was ultimately his.
He leaves behind a roster filled with holes and an organization in flux.
The search for a replacement has begun, and it can't possibly come from within, no matter how competent or respected assistant GM Kevin Abrams or co-director of player personnel Tim McDonnell might be at 1925 Giants Way.
The Giants need fresh ideas.
