Director of Pro Personnel
"Few men in professional football are better qualified than Jim Trimble to handle the role of Director of Pro Personnel, an assignment he shouldered at the start of the 1969 season when the Giants reorganized their administrative staff. As Director of Pro Personnel, Jim serves as a liaison between coach Bill Arnsparger and club president Wellington Mara, helps coordinate trades, works closely with Jim Lee Howell and members of the scouting staff and generally handles the myriad details and personnel problems that result from the ever widening range of pro football activity.
Whatever the problems, though, it is likely Jim has encountered them somewhere along the line during his 36 years in football. His background in the game is not only broad, it is also very successful. He was head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles (1952-56), the Hamilton Tiger Cats (1956-62) and the Montreal Alouettes (1963-65) and rarely was he ever on the losing side. His NFL record with the Eagles was 27-20-2. In Canada, he compiled an overall record of 77-61-2 and was named Coach of the Year in 1961. Additionally, he served in the dual role of head coach and general manager."
