The New York Giants are not even two years removed from hiring general manager Dave Gettleman and head coach Pat Shurmur to replace Jerry Reese and Ben McAdoo, who were terminated midway through the 2017 season, but already co-owner Steve Tisch wants a reset.

Mired in a third consecutive losing season and the second under Shurmur, Tisch has reached his breaking point and will push for a “major overhaul” this offseason, reports Jordan Raanan of ESPN.

For the New York Giants, the question is whether coach Pat Shurmur and/or general manager Dave Gettleman will be among those losing their jobs the day after the regular season concludes. The tea leaves suggest Shurmur is unlikely to survive barring a huge finish, Gettleman is in trouble and co-owner Steve Tisch is in favor of a major overhaul. Tisch and John Mara have declined multiple opportunities over the past month to offer votes of confidence for Shurmur and Gettleman. That’s not a great sign. It leaves open the possibility of significant changes to the organization for the second time in three years.

Although Tisch and Mara have largely avoided the media this season, the former did suggest that a difficult conversation would be had on Black Monday.

“It’s been a very frustrating season. At the end of the season John Mara and I are gonna get together and discuss the future. As partners we have to be very honest with each other about where we see this team going into the 2020 season,” Tisch told Bruce Beck in early December.

The questions become: How many times are the Giants going to blow things up and rebuild if they don’t work after a year and a half? How much longer can the cycle of change continue and is the lack of patience really the right answer?

There is an understandable level of frustration with the current Giants product, but as we alluded to in our recent article, “7 reasons Giants should keep Pat Shurmur,” constant winds of change very rarely, if ever yield any long-lasting or consistent results.

The Giants have had two general managers, four head coaches, three offensive coordinators, three defensive coordinators, two different systems and a complete roster turnover since 2015 and the results have all remained largely the same. Doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results is literally the definition of insanity.

Something very clearly needs to be done, but is another “major overhaul” really guaranteed to bring about different results? It certainly hasn’t so far, and how many more times can the Giants do this before they finally rediscover some patience and allow a three-year plan to play itself out?
