GIANT LETTER

-

Giants ownership didn’t just respond to their fans by firing the coach and GM on Monday. John Mara and Steve Tisch also reached out to their fans directly.

The Daily News obtained a copy of a letter signed by Mara and Tisch sent to the average Joe Giants ticket-holder on Monday, after the firings of Reese and Ben McAdoo, to empathize with the disgruntle­d Blue bloods and reassure them that better days are ahead. “Dear (Giants fan), Today, we made the difficult decision to relieve head coach Ben McAdoo and general manager Jerry Reese of their duties. This season has been extremely disappoint­ing for our organizati­on, and we determined now was the right time to make these changes.

Steve Spagnuolo, our defensive coordinato­r and a former NFL head coach, will serve as interim coach for the remainder of the season. Kevin Abrams, our assistant general manager for the last 16 years, will assume the duties of interim general manager. As owners of this franchise, our goal is to deliver the highest quality of football to you, and we know we have fallen short of that goal this season. We will conduct a diligent and thorough search for a new head coach and general manager.

We know you and all of our fans have been frustrated this year, and many of you have voiced your disappoint­ment and displeasur­e. Your passion for our franchise does not go unnoticed, and we appreciate your continued support as we move forward to provide you with a renewed sense of Giants Pride.

— with Gary Myers
