EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — A person familiar with the move tells The Associated Press that the New York Giants have fired coach Pat Shurmur .
Shurmur is a former MSU football player and Dearborn native.
The once-proud franchise took a step back by winning four games in a season marked by a franchise record-tying nine-game losing streak.
Shurmur was released one day after the Giants failed to play the spoiler role and saw the Philadelphia Eagles beat them 34-17 to win the NFC East.
The four-time Super Bowl champions finished with a 4-12 record, missing the playoffs for the seventh time in eight years.
