Steve Tisch, the co-owner of the Giants who resides in California and makes movies for Escape Artists Productions, says he wants to become more involved in the operations of the team that has fallen on hard times.

Tisch and John Mara have a 50-50 partnership — the only one of its kind in the NFL — with Mara running the day-to-day operations from the team facility in East Rutherford.

“I am involved, I would like to be more involved, I will become more involved going forward in 2020,” Tisch said Monday as the owners announced the firing of head coach Pat Shurmur and the retention of general manager Dave Gettleman. “We have a great dialogue with each other, it’s a very functional working relationship.

“Partnerships are hard, professional ones and domestic ones. I feel we have a very good one, we always, with some difference of opinions expressed we get to the same point.”

There was speculation one of the differences of opinion centered on how deep the changes needed to go after a 4-12 season, and that Tisch was pushing for firing Gettleman along with Shurmur and had to be convinced by Mara to spare the general manager.

“Absolutely not,” Mara said. “That’s absolutely false.”

As far as any rift in ownership, Mara said “We’ve been in lockstep on this the whole time. Our relationship, contrary to what I read the other day, has never been better.”

Said Tisch, “Everything you and I read about friction and difference of opinion, I didn’t say it, John didn’t say it, I read it but it’s not true.”

Tisch said he and Mara speak three or four times a week, at all home and away games and whenever Tisch is in town and spends time at the team facility.

“To say there’s any issues with our communication is a total mischaracterization,” Tisch said.

Mara said he and Gettleman will conduct the coaching search and Tisch will also be involved. Mara, as the point man for all football operations, receives the brunt of the criticism from fans when things go haywire on the field and the losing mounts.

“It all starts at the top so yes, you can criticize me all you want and it would be warranted,” Mara said. “The success, the failures of the last eight years have been pretty miserable so I’ll accept my share of blame for that.”
