Thirty miles east of Jets headquarters and two hours before their rookie general manager, Joe Douglas, stood at the lectern inside the media interview room to conduct his season wrap-up press conference, his Giants counterpart was being peppered, skewered and grilled by reporters.
Unlike Giants general manager Dave Gettleman, who controversially survived the Monday firing of head coach Pat Shurmur, Douglas didn’t have a lot to answer for on Tuesday, because he hasn’t been around long enough to do anything really wrong.
Not yet, anyway.
Unlike Gettleman’s press conference, during which he faced a barrage of questions about the questionable personnel moves he has made that resulted in a 4-12 season and the firing of the head coach, Douglas’ 23-minute session was rather mellow.
