The New York Giants have split up with Offensive Coordinator Jason Garrett. The franchise announced this in an official statement.
Freddie Kitchens, the team’s previous Senior Offensive Assistant, will initially take up the vacant position.
Garrett is the first coach (head coach, offensive coordinator or defensive coordinator) to be fired this season. Joe Gruden (Las Vegas Raiders) resigned himself a few weeks ago.
After the 10:30 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday night, head coach Joe Judge had already indicated a change in the coaching staff.
“We have to use our players better,” said Judge: “I told the players to be ready on Wednesday. We will have a plan for them.”
For Garrett it was the second season as offensive coordinator of the Giants, before that he was head coach of the Dallas Cowboys for ten years.
Under Garrett, the Giants offensive was 25th in the NFL with 18.9 points per game.
