EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Jerry Reese, who has served as the Giants’ Director of Player Personnel for the past four years, was named the team’s new Senior Vice President and General Manager today. Reese succeeds Ernie Accorsi, who retired today after a 37-year career in the National Football League, including the past nine seasons as the Giants’ GM.
Prior to serving as the team’s Director of Player Personnel, Reese was the Giants’ Assistant Director of Pro Personnel for three years. The 43-year old Reese, a graduate of the University of Tennessee at Martin and a member of the school’s Hall of Fame, originally joined the Giants scouting department in December of 1994. Prior to joining the Giants, Reese was a member of the football coaching staff at his alma mater.
Reese, a native of Tiptonville, Tenn. is married to the former Gwen Moore, and they have two children, Jasmyne Danielle and Jerry II.
The Giants will hold a 10:30 a.m. press conference on Tuesday to introduce Reese as the team’s new General Manager.
if this guy had any role in Ernie Accorsi's severe overpaying for Eli Manning, the drafting of Ron Dayne over Sean Alexander, the signing of Lavarr Arrington over Julian Peterson or Kenny Holmes over Simeon Rice, wasting of 1st round draft picks on William Joseph & Will Allen & a 2nd round pick on Corey Webster among other brilliant moves by Accorsi over the last several years, I'm not jumping up for joy over hearing this news.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
