New York Giants (http://www.giants101.com/tag/new-york-giants/) Director or College Scouting Marc Ross (http://www.giants101.com/tag/marc-ross/) has been a hot name in the General Manager search across the NFL (http://www.giants101.com/tag/nfl/), with him lining up visits with the Carolina Panthers, New York Jets (http://www.giants101.com/2013/01/01/new-york-giants-marc-ross-to-interview-for-new-york-jets-carolina-panthers-gm-jobs/), San Diego Chargers (http://www.giants101.com/2013/01/03/new-york-giants-marc-ross-to-interview-for-san-diego-chargers-gm-position/) and Jacksonville Jaguars. However, it appears that the Panthers, who enlisted the help of former Giants GM Ernie Accorsi (http://www.giants101.com/2012/11/09/former-new-york-giants-general-manager-ernie-accorsi-helping-carolina-panthers-find-new-gm/), are learning towards pilfering a different name from Big Blue.

Pro Football (http://www.giants101.com/tag/football/) Talk reports that Giants executive Dave Gettleman (http://www.giants101.com/tag/dave-gettleman/) is now the favorite (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/04/g-m-dominoes-could-start-falling-soon/) to be hired on as the new Carolina Panthers (http://www.giants101.com/tag/carolina-panthers/) General Manager, despite earlier reports that Ross was leading the way (http://www.giants101.com/2012/12/23/new-york-giants-director-of-college-scouting-marc-ross-leading-candidate-for-panthers-gm-job/).Gettleman, who joined the Giants in 1998 as then-director Tim Rooney’s assistant, quickly climbed the ranks within the organization. In 1999 he was promoted to Pro Personnel Director where he remained until July of last year when he was promoted to Senior Pro Personnel Analyst." Read more...

This happens often to the class of the NFL, Steelers and Pats staffs are also heavily poached.

It does speak well of our organization

[BlueReign]

It does speak well of our organization The Giants, Steelers, Patriots and Packers all build the correct way. There's a reason the past decade has been dominated by those four organizations. Speaks to the owners of the franchises as well; they know Rome can't be built in a day.Good things happen to good people.

If we lose Dave Gettleman, I'm interested to see the course of action we take. Wouldn't mind seeing us bring in Scott Pioli in some capacity.

It will be interesting to see if they have anyone from within they will promote.

It will be interesting to see if they have anyone from within they will promote.I'm sure they do. Top organizations in the world, not just in sports, cultivate a culture within to breed potential replacements, and key position-holders. The Giants, Patriots, Steelers -- they're all world-class organizations, so I'm sure there are suitable candidates within.

With that said, I'm definitely not opposed to Pioli being brought in the FO in some capacity, if anything to offer variance in perspective.

We used to do an annual "who can do your job" scenarios for upper level managers. When we started that, I was skeptical, but it actually proved to be a positive exercise and people who might have been overlooked were at least being considered.

It says something about the organization that if you work here you can actually move up in the ranks and won't be quickly dismissed and overlooked for outside help.
