BronxRik Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Ben McAdoo not on hot seat despite Giants' slow start Consider Giants head coach Ben McAdoo off the hot seat for now. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning that the 0-4 head coach is not at risk of any brash mid-season firing after stumbling to a disappointing start. "Ben McAdoo is not in trouble," Rapoport reported on NFL GameDay Morning. "The Giants believe he is still a future very successful coach. He actually went to the playoffs last year. This is expected to be just a blip on the radar for the Giants." For fans of the Giants or those who have closely studied the organization, it would be a surprise if the team was planning to cut bait with McAdoo. On NFL Network, Rapoport mentioned "how ownership has traditionally run this franchise." To expand on that thought: The Giants, even amid their worst seasons, prefer to execute a complete and total evaluation of the year before making any decisions. This was true after Tom Coughlin's 0-6 start to the 2013 season just as it will be true for McAdoo in 2017. The evaluations are typically made between ownership, the general manager and the coaching staff. The coaching staff gets a chance to explain what went wrong and how to fix it, and then a decision is made. The Giants had competition for McAdoo on the coaching market after he helped revive Eli Manning as Coughlin's offensive coordinator in 2015 and was viewed as an obvious candidate to succeed Coughlin from the moment he walked through the door. The decision to hire McAdoo was not made carelessly, so why would the decision to fire him be made that way? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000857649/article/ben-mcadoo-not-on-hot-seat-despite-giants-slow-start Blip on the radar???

Herc Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 The decision to hire mcadoo was not made carelessly Yeah it's totally typical to fire your head coach and just promote the o-coordinator without giving anyone else serious consideration.

BlueInCanada Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Coughlin was given leeway because he was a SB winning HC who could control his team. McAdoo is a few years removed from coaching Olineman in Green Bay and only six games prior from a horrible playoff loss. I don't want to become the Browns rotating coaches every two years, but the experiment is about to run it's course. What the fuck does Mara see in the guy?

Lughead Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 fire Mcadoo hire Banks to fill in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 LOL Oh he is not safe by a longshot. This season could be the last for Reese and I don't see ownership looking for another GM and hiring him on the caveat he keeps McAdoo. McAdoo hasn't done enough to keep his job so far, all he has done is show up on the sideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 What I got outta that is he's no mid-season fire. If this team quits on him he's gone, but it'll be in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Nothing bad ever happens after an off the record vote of confidence. "Honest...no issues with Mac....he could be doing blow with that guy in Miami....and we are still going to give him a chance to stand this team back up his way". ...what do you guys think the over/under on wins is for this guy to keep his job? I think he has to at or near .500 the rest of the way to survive. C. Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I legit think the over/under is .5 win. If we win one game he keeps his job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I think if we get a top 5 draft pick, he's done. If it's top 10, he likely stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightFire Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I legit think the over/under is .5 win. If we win one game he keeps his job I concur, the injuries will help him deflect because of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMFP Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 If the Giants shit the bed (hint: they will), why the fuck would Mara want to entrust what will likely be the next franchise QB to Reese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 If the Giants shit the bed (hint: they will), why the fuck would Mara want to entrust what will likely be the next franchise QB to Reese? Not just that... we have one LB under contract and one interior O-lineman. Does ANYBODY want Reese and his wonderful eye for those two positions determining who plays there for the next four years?

Does ANYBODY want Reese and his wonderful eye for those two positions determining who plays there for the next four years? Agreed. This message board has dozens of threads over the past several seasons wondering aloud why these needs have been ignored and/or botched. Flowers was a top 10 pick, right? Fucking A.

JMFP Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I have an open mind on McAdoo. He needs an offensive line, and the front office has every right to demand a play calling offensive coordinator. Problem McAdoo has if he follows a very successful disciplined veteran coach. The roster needs to be replanted with his guys, and that will take time. But yeah, Reese needs to go. If time was up for Coughlin, someone give me one good fucking reason why it's not up for Reese.

Iceman_NYG Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Reese is gone. I think its obvious. McAdoo - not too sure. Giants don't have a history of firing coaches this quickly without a very legitimate reason like the team quitting on him/her (Booyeah! I aint no Newton! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
