Mara also said he wished it was mandatory for every player in
the league to be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus.
The Giants are 15-33 since Gettleman took over as GM three years
ago. However, Mara said there is no playoff-or-be-fired mandate
for Gettleman.
"We're all on the hot seat with our fans in particular, we've
given them too many losing seasons, it's time for us to start
winning," Mara said, when asked if the GM was on the hot seat.
"No, I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that's an accurate
statement.
"I certainly think we're a lot better on paper," Mara said. "I'd
like to see us show that on the field, win some games and make
the playoffs."
Mara also said he wishes the league required every player to get
vaccinated.
"I'd prefer that everybody be vaccinated," he said. "I would've
preferred that it would've been mandatory for players to get
vaccinated. But the players' association did not share that
view, so we are where we are, which is not a bad spot to be in.
Obviously, I'd like it to be 100 percent (of players
vaccinated), because I think it's the right thing to do."
Mara also said the Giants would not require fans to be
vaccinated to attend games -- at least not yet. The Las Vegas
Raiders are requiring proof of vaccination.
"As of right now, there are no plans to do that. If you ask me
that question again in a week or two, I may give you a different
answer. That'll depend on our discussions with the governor's
office and further guidance from the CDC and other health
organizations. I think it's a fluid situation," Mara said.
