Another NFL team has joined the club to fire its head coach. On Tuesday night, the New York Giants announced that they parted ways with Joe Judge after two seasons. This comes a day after the Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears decided to enter the 2022 season with new head coaches.

“Steve (Tisch) and I believe that it is best for our franchise to move in another direction,” team president John Mara said in a statement. “We met with Joe yesterday afternoon to discuss the status of the team. I met with Joe again this afternoon, and it was during that conversation that 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 heading when we played our last game of the season. Unfortunately, I cannot make that statement, so we have made this decision.

The decision comes shortly after general manager Dave Gettleman announced his retirement. That could be the reason Judge was fired along with the fact that the Giants only won 10 games in his two seasons with the team. Judge, 40, joined the Giants in 2019 after spending eight years as an assistant coach for the New England Patriots.

“This will be an exhaustive search for our next CEO,” Mara said. “We are looking for a person who demonstrates exceptional leadership and communication skills, someone to oversee all aspects of our soccer operations, including player personnel, college exploration and training.”

The Giants finished the 2021 season with a 4-13 record. The team has not made the playoffs since 2016 and has since had three different head coaches, excluding interim head coach Steve Spagnuolo in 2017. From 2004 to 2015, Tom Coughlin was the head coach of the Giants and the team. won two Super Bowls. under his watch. Before Coughlin, Jim Fassel was the head coach of the Giants from 1997-2003.

“Obviously the fans deserve better than what we gave them this year,” Judge said after the team’s final game of the season last weekend, which was a 22-7 loss to the Washington soccer team. “Our team deserves better than what we achieved this year. I have much higher expectations as a team. I will never compromise or negotiate on that. My expectations are what they are. As I have said several times, I am very proud of many things that our team has done through many adversities this year.
