New York Giants promote Ben McAdoo to head coach

That said, the 38-year-old McAdoo will make changes in taking over a Giants team that won two Super Bowls in Coughlin’s 12-year tenure.

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. They meant to interview Cincinnati offensive coordinator Hue Jackson on Thursday, but he accepted the Browns job hours before the Giants decided on McAdoo.

“It has been a privilege to work and learn under Coach Coughlin”, McAdoo said in a statement posted on the team’s website Thursday aftenroon. Thinking of a way to honor Tom, there are so many ways we can do it. But I figure the best way would be when I first walked into the building, he looked at me and said, ‘Don’t mess with the clock.’ When you look to the right here, we have our digital clocks, they’re all five minutes fast, and we’re going to stick with that.

The Giants hired former Packers quarterbacks coach Ben McAdoo as their new head coach this week. We were all impressed with his energy, his enthusiasm, his vision and his desire. “I think Coach McAdoo has great leadership skills, and will do a great job being a head coach and leading us in the right direction”.

Citing “respect, humility and dedication” as his core values, McAdoo offered a preview of what to expect from him as head coach. Pederson started his first National Football League game with the Eagles and got his first National Football League assistant coaching job in Philadelphia.

“Our theme moving forward this year is evolution, not revolution”, McAdoo said. “This was an organizational failure on our part, starting with me and working its way down”. He served as the team’s offensive coordinator the past two years.

Reportedly, the Giants took a lot of inspiration from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ coaching model, and the similarities between Mike Tomlin and McAdoo are easy to see.

Manning himself admitted that having to run a new offense next season would not be ideal.

Reese said he and Coughlin had “a great relationship” and promised, “Ben and I will do the same”.

Manning endorsed McAdoo after the season, but Mara said that was only one factor in the team’s decision to hire him after interviewing six men for the job, all of whom Mara said were well qualified to lead the team. “I figured him or Spags would have been a great pick”.

The Giants’ new head coach also told reporters the theme of the season will be “evolution, not revolution”, per Vacchiano.

It didn’t hurt that Manning voiced support for his coach after the season.

The biggest question is if McAdoo can solve the $64,000 question.

There are also reports that former Dolphins coach Joe Philbin, who worked with McAdoo in Green Bay, will be hired in some capacity.

Mara speaks with collective pronouns, but as the co-owner, president and CEO, he is well aware he is the “I” in the fans’ bull’s-eye. That’s my responsibility. We’ll have open dialogue back and forth and we’ll communicate on what we feel our needs are and how we can get better and improve, but at the end of the day, it’s about the coaches and the personnel and the locker room all pulling in the same direction.
