After just two seasons on the job, Joe Judge has been fired by the New York Giants.
On Tuesday, the team confirmed Judge’s dismissal.
Judge, like Pat Shurmur and Ben McAdoo before him, will not be given the opportunity to coach a third season.
“Steve (Tisch) and I both believe it is in the best interest of our franchise to move in another direction,” said team president John Mara. “We met with Joe yesterday afternoon to discuss the state of the team. I met again with Joe this afternoon, and it was during that conversation I informed Joe of our decision. We appreciate Joe’s efforts on behalf of the organization.
“I said before the season started that I wanted to feel good about the direction we were headed when we played our last game of the season. Unfortunately, I cannot make that statement, which is why we have made this decision.
“We will hire a general manager and that person will lead the effort to hire a new head coach.”
On Monday, senior vice president and general manager Dave Gettleman announced his retirement.
Judge went 10-23 in his two seasons as head coach.
The Giants have already started the search for a new general manager.
