He was responsible for the Panthers being in the SB 2 years ago and the success they had this year. Built the team the right way. Prior GM hung around town and sniped from the sidelines. Gettleman got fired when he did not want to pay Olsen and Davis - a year early rather than a year late guy.Don't know if he's competent, but I do know he is hated around these parts.
Yep, story says:
It was clear he had the inside track because Tish/Mara/Accorsi were doing the hiring.Gettleman, 66, shares deep roots with the Giants, having spent 15 years in New York as a personnel executive from 1998 to 2012.
Even before the hire, I read that the Gints were inclined to finesse the situation by keeping Eli as gap filler to whomever they draft in the off season.Gettleman seems to be able to make tough, unsentimental decisions, so goodbye, Eli?

I went on three different NYG message boards and saw quite a few angry/upset fans because they don't think anything will change.
