Ignore the roster hate the guy. It's crystal clear. 11-5 was fine. By Oct he was public enemy #1 b/c he couldn't win with an awful roster and your expectations where higher. You ok with that? Otherwise, you must think the team was better You do remember that the 11-5 team had one of the worst offenses in the league that year? And that Mac was supposed to be an offensive guru? And that the team spent around $200 million on defensive FAs prior to that season? I just have to laugh when anyone defends Mac based on that 11-5 year. The defense obviously won most of the games (Spags knows how to coach a good defense.) He had a bottom 10 offense rank through out his tenure, and he obviously didnt know how to handle his locker room. I dont think it's his fault, he was promoted WAY prematurely. IMO, the silly Mac promotion was on the owners. There is only one item worth a shit on Mac's resume and that is, he sat in the same room with Aaron Rodgers for a few years. Unfortunately our owner that that was meaningful enough to anoint him HC. This is why I have grown tired of Mara over the years........great guy with zero self awareness. He has no clue of where is talents are best directed. They are not bust directed toward personnel. Why he can't accept that being an NFL owner is a high enough station in life is beyond me.

He was promoted too far too fast.

That's fair but it is hardly unique to McAdoo both in the NFL and more relevantly on the Giants over the past decade. Teams this bad are never this bad because of one thing. It's usually nearly everything.

i shake my head when everybody jumps on Mac and while ignoring the roster. I don't jump on him. He was promoted too far too fast. fast/slow, etc - it was a lose/lose for anybody in that position. An atrocious roster with a washed up QB, Darkwa was the leading rusher, no OL, injured receivers and a bunch of mercenaries on defense. Oh, and an owner who goes into hiding.

Do you really think McAdoo is a good HC? Or that no one else (or pretty much anyone else) could have been a better hire for that roster than him? Would you hire Ben McAdoo for your fantasy NFL team? I'm not really sure what we are arguing about. Unless you are McAdoo's family, he was a horrible hire as a HC by any definition.
