Mara and Tisch to Keep McAdoo ... for now

The New York Giants will keep Ben McAdoo around as head coach of the football team.  The Giants are 1-8 and starring at a likely top-5 pick in next spring's NFL draft. The Giants could also be looking at the worst season in franchise history. As poorly as the Giants have played this season, it is not enough for  the Giants to fire McAdoo now.

Plus, this is a franchise that has never liked the idea of firing coaches in-season. They let Ray Handley, Dan Reeves and Jim Fassel all twist in the wind during their final seasons in New York. It will happen again here with McAdoo. The only way the Giants part ways with him is if this team gets totally embarrassed before the end of the month.

Here is the statement below.

Ben McAdoo is our head coach and has our support," the statement reads. "We are in the midst of an extremely disappointing season. Our performance this year, particularly the past two weeks, is inexcusable and frustrating. While we appreciate that our fans are unhappy with what has occurred, nobody is more upset than we are.

“Our plan is to do what we have always done, which is to not offer a running commentary on the season. It is our responsibility to determine the reasons for our poor performance and at the end of the year, we will evaluate the 2017 season in its entirety and make a determination on how we move forward.”
