McAdoo certainly wouldn't make the list though.
February 13th, 2018 at 2:27 PM ^
1. WRONG!
2. WRONG!
3. I don't care bc you were so completely and utterly wrong on 1-2
February 13th, 2018 at 6:34 PM ^
Great insight. Thanks for your worthy contribution to the board.
February 13th, 2018 at 12:57 PM ^
is there a source on this? Seems like too much of an nfl guy and not enough of a WR guy compared to the rest of the candidates but he did do some amazing things with the Giants offense last year despite a shitty Oline
February 13th, 2018 at 1:01 PM ^
February 13th, 2018 at 2:23 PM ^
He would be a better choice as coach #10 for UM than Ben McAdoo
February 13th, 2018 at 1:00 PM ^
with Dr. Toboggan's diagnosis. There's something going on there.
February 13th, 2018 at 1:02 PM ^
I don't want an NFL guy who doesn't have significant experience coaching and recruiting at the college level.
This just seems like a one and done guy. No thanks.,
February 13th, 2018 at 1:02 PM ^
that if anything pro football is beginning copy college football for offensive schemes? Other running QB's the pro game is being trandformed into elite college offenses. The old line up behind the center has gone the way of the doodo bird.
Even JH has now recognized this. So why do we need former pro OC? Hasn't Drevno and Pep proved it is not the way to go?

We all know you're going to bitch no matter who gets hired, so your opinion means less than nothing. This comment is grouchy feelingsball in full.
February 13th, 2018 at 1:11 PM ^
February 13th, 2018 at 1:11 PM ^
So we've had Jim McElwain, John Morton, and now Ben McAdoo talked about as the 10th coach. Hard keeping up with it all.
February 13th, 2018 at 1:45 PM ^
That's typically how interview processes go.
February 14th, 2018 at 12:22 AM ^
Not for a college assistant coach, especially for a non-coordinator position. This process here has been rather atypical: three marquee names relative to the postion being filled; all made public; all discussed and then no further mention.
February 13th, 2018 at 3:32 PM ^
Its really not that hard infact you just named those three off the top of your head without doing any sort of research im sure.
February 14th, 2018 at 12:16 AM ^
But are those the ONLY three??? Do you know? Do you KNOW know? :-)
February 13th, 2018 at 1:11 PM ^
I'm kind of waiting to hear if they are going to restructure the staff. For instance if Drevno and Pep are staying, and it seems like they are. I’d like to see Warinner coach the line and then hire the best WR coach they can get from another school.
February 13th, 2018 at 1:28 PM ^
Based of what I've read from insidery types, at this point, it sounds like Pep and Drevno aren't leaving.
February 13th, 2018 at 1:15 PM ^
The list of "candidates for the 10th coaching position" must be about as long as the Dead Sea Scrolls!
February 13th, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
Last year was the "Dead Offense Scrolls."
February 13th, 2018 at 1:21 PM ^
Can he recruit? We need more 4 and 5 star players
February 13th, 2018 at 1:22 PM ^

Ran a quick slant, dink and dunk west coast offense with a quarterback who is most effective throwing the ball downfield. Wrong offense for the talent he had at his disposal.
February 13th, 2018 at 1:46 PM ^
February 13th, 2018 at 3:26 PM ^
I hadn't considered the "Drevno is important to Andersen" angle. I...really hope that's not why we've kept him this long.
February 13th, 2018 at 2:00 PM ^
Is there something wrong with trying to get a younger guy from the college ranks who might stick around more than 1 year?
Please....no more NFL retreads.
February 13th, 2018 at 2:01 PM ^
Guy is a clown and was fired by the Giants for a reason. Keep him away from Schembechler.
February 13th, 2018 at 2:09 PM ^
February 13th, 2018 at 2:55 PM ^
It must be exhausting going to level 10 on every rumor that comes out.
We’re all gonna die!!!!!!!!!

My fault, I wrote that on the run, a little more in depth, here we go The Giants under McAdoo as Head Coach, the former "QB and Offensive Coordinator Guru" and offensive play caller:
Never scored over 30 points in any game
32nd in 1st Downs Gained
30th in Points Scored
20th in Time of Posession
31st in Red Zone Trips
29th in Total yards
31st in 3rd Down %
29th in First Half Points
He ran almost all plays out of the shotgun in a 3 to 4 WR set, 1 RB, didn't matter if it was 1st & 10, 3rd & short, 4th & Goal; they were predictible to the point where it was just funny. His players gave up on him and ameteurish in dealing with them on a day to day basis.
The truth is he was better than what they had at OC, before him. The Eagles showed interest and wanted to hire him so the Giants fast tracked him in not trying to lose him and made him their head coach, possibly their worst hire since in the past 40 years.

I know precisely dick about assembling a football coaching staff. I really miss the 90s, when I could stop paying attention to Michigan football for months at a time. I knew then that we would be competitive year in-year out, go to the Rose Bowl every two or three years, and have a magical season once or twice a decade. Ever since Coach Carr turned into double-L Lloyd (as in lose to Ohio State, lose the Bowl game), I've grown more obsessive following the off season looking for signs Michigan would turn back into Michigan again.
I miss my serene neglect!
February 13th, 2018 at 3:05 PM ^
This guy must be pretty old and versatile. I remember when Dick Vitale wanted Bob McAdoo to play for the Pistons when he was head coach. I didn't know he was knowledgable about football, too.
February 13th, 2018 at 3:37 PM ^
I just hope they hire someone who wants to stick around for a while. We need continuity not a revamp every six months with the OL coach leaving, then the OC leaving after the next 6 months, then the passing game coordinator . . . Maybe Harb needs to let some of these other guys handle the administrative duties and he become more involved in the actual coaching, development, offensive schemes and play-calling. At least that way the players learn a particular system and become proficient running it.
February 13th, 2018 at 4:01 PM ^
As a Giants fan...
No.
No. No. No.
Please. No.
February 13th, 2018 at 4:05 PM ^
As a big Giants fan, here's my $.02 on McAdoo:
1. The Gients were undone this season by insanely bad OL play. The OL's inability to run or pass block completely killed the offense's ability to run or throw the ball. What is worse, the issues with the NYG offence this season were IDENTICAL to those of the second half of the prior season.
Just saying that if I were a team coming off of a historically bad offensive season, where by biggest deficinecy was the OL, I might want to look elsewhere.
2. During his last season, it came out that the Giants' players almost uniformly hated the guy. He was especially terrible at dealing with the younger players on the roster.
Being unable to deal with younger NFL players might not translate well to the college level.
3. After watching how this guy carries himself, there is NO WAY that he would be a good recruiter.
If I were a team that has been struggling with recruiting, I might want to find a 10th coach who can actually help, you know, recruit.
Please take Mr. I Love Sharks over this guy.

Les? Brady? Jerry Kill?
For Fuchs Sake.... Scott Fuchs.... he's the guy!
February 13th, 2018 at 4:37 PM ^
Guy helped Rodgers become the force he is...Of course that was pre creepy Mustache
February 13th, 2018 at 6:25 PM ^
Did he really though? He was his QB coach for 2012 & 2013, before that he was their Tight Ends coach for six years. Rodgers stats in 2012 & 2013 were good, no doubt about it but his stats in 2011 (before McAdoo worked with him) were better in Comp %, TD's, INT's (lower), yards & QB Rating.
