New York Giants Hire Dave Gettleman As General Manager
By TOM CANAVAN, AP Sports Writer
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Giants have hired 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 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.
Gettleman will be the Giants' fourth general manager since 1979, following George Young, Ernie Accorsi and Jerry Reese, who held the job for 11 seasons before he was dismissed on Dec. 4 along with coach Ben McAdoo.
