EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants have fired offensive coordinator Jason Garrett after less than two years on the job, the team announced Tuesday.
The move comes as a result of continuing offensive struggles for the Giants (3-7) and follows their 30-10 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.
The Giants have averaged 18.9 points per game this season, ranking 25th in the NFL on offense. In 2020, Garrett's first season, the Giants were 31st in the NFL at 17.5 points per game.
After the loss, head coach Joe Judge placed blame on the Giants' coaches.
"You can put that down tonight. Got that?" Judge said Monday night. "You guys can write that tonight. Players have to execute. That is their job, right? It is our job to teach them. It's their job to go out and execute.
"But we have to make sure we put them in position to have success. That has to be consistent, by the way. So, you can go ahead and write that down. I'm not going to debate that."
The Giants on Monday finished with 215 total yards -- the second-lowest total of the 26-game Judge era -- and just 66 rushing yards. The 15 first downs was a season low, and only one of the Giants' 54 offensive plays vs. the Bucs gained more than 16 yards.
The Giants have scored 30 points only once in the 26 games since Garrett joined the team.
