One-time KHS coach named Giants' GM
Dave Gettleman led Tigers for 1 season (1984); also coached at Spackenkill in 1973-’78, ’80-’81
The New York Giants have hired one-time Kingston High football coach and former Carolina Panthers executive Dave Gettleman as their general manager.
The Giants (2-13) announced the hiring of the 66-year-old Gettleman on Thursday and planned to introduce him at a news conference Friday.
Gettleman was a Tigers’ assistant in 1982 and ’83 before serving as head coach for one season in 1984. He also served as head football coach at Spackenkill from 1973 to 1978 and 1980 to 1981 before moving to the Kingston school district, where he taught physical education at Myron J. Michael Junior High School and coached junior varsity baseball.
He left Kingston to earn a graduate degree in sports administration at Thomas University in Miami.
Gettleman has a history with the Giants. He spent 15 seasons with the franchise before becoming Carolina’s general manager from 2013-2016, a span in which the Panthers played in the Super Bowl after the 2015 season. He was fired after the following season when Carolina missed the playoffs.

Kingston was able to get everybody into the contest and got 11 points apiece from Lanasia Dorsey and Lexi Diers. Dorsey and Harrell dominated on the boards.
Yasmine Gasmi carried Filion, scoring 21 points.
Kingston’s first six games of the season have been interesting: three Canadian teams, a pair of state-ranked schools (Cicero and Bethlehem) and just one Orange County Interscholastic Athletic Association game (Newburgh).
The Tigers will get a real sense of where they stand in Section 9 when they host Monroe-Woodbury next Thursday.
