Giants name Ben McAdoo to replace Coughlin

“I’d guess 35 of those plays were behind Ben at left tackle”, Foust said by phone Friday after McAdoo was officially named the 17th head coach of the Giants.

Homer-Center won the game, defeating Bellwood-Antis, 3-0. “I did talk to Eli right after the last press conference we had, and I talked to him about some of the candidates, and he obviously liked Ben”. There are lots of caveats here because we don’t know if McAdoo stays if Coughlin is in, and we don’t know if Joe Philbin (who worked with McAdoo in Green Bay) is definitely coming. During his 12-year tenure as coach, Coughlin famously kept the clocks at the team’s headquarters – first in Giants Stadium, and most recently in the Quest Diagnostics Training Center – five minutes fast.

Giants team president John Mara added: “Ben is an outstanding young coach who has great experience and has done a good job as our offensive coordinator these past two years”. I like the pressure. His second best year in terms of passing yards was in 2014, again under McAdoo.

Veteran quarterback Eli Manning was among the people who quickly endorsed the hiring. He has earned this chance, whether he’s 40 yet or not. – Mike Lupica, New York Daily NewsIt seems as if Giants fans are bored or uninspired by the choice. The Giants started their season with a winning record this year, at 5-4, but they only one of their next seven games in what one could best describe as a collapse. Over those two years Manning has thrown 65 touchdown passes.

When asked about how closely he will work with McAdoo in regards to personnel decisions, Reese stated that the entire staff will be involved in the process. Keeping consistency and keeping that successful relationship together is obviously vital to the Giants future success. “I think Coach McAdoo is a great coach, a great teacher, and will be a great leader of this team”, said Manning, who voiced his support for McAdoo after the season.

His job now is to get the franchise back on track.

While Smith didn’t get the Giants job, he could find himself back in the mix for another head coaching job if he is able to help turn around the Buccaneers defense under Koetter, who replaced the fired Lovie Smith, who as a surprise to some, did not interview for the Giants job this time around. He was the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2012-2013.

McAdoo said there would be four elements to his coaching approach. When he was hired, McAdoo was seen as a potential Coughlin successor because of the head coach’s advancing age, but his meteoric rise is remarkable. To honor his mentor, McAdoo won’t.

Pederson is a former Eagles quarterback and now on the staff of former Philadelphia head coach Andy Reid.

Regardless of what Tom Coughlin does, Ben McAdoo was absolutely the right man to take the Giants job. “I felt it was time for the next chapter”.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – A confident Ben McAdoo has taken over as the New York Giants coach, saying the four-time Super Bowl winners need to reload instead of rebuild after missing the playoffs the past four seasons.

Reese clearly has not provided the Giants with enough talent in recent years, as evidenced by the team falling short of the postseason for the fourth consecutive year.
