A week ago, it had been reported that the Giants would fire Gilbride after 10 seasons with the team.

After the season, Giants CEO John Mara cited a “need to fix” the offense and that the Giants could not go into the 2014 season with “the same personnel.”

An announcement is expected soon, though there is no exact date or time set at this moment.
