If we get blown out on Sunday is that the last straw

Bubba : 12/1/2017 1:34 pm
for McAdoo? From John Mara's interview on Weds:

Q: Is Ben McAdoo’s job considered secure for the rest of the year? Have you guaranteed that to him?

A: There’s no guarantees in life. (We) made (our) statement on that a couple of weeks ago, but there’s no guarantees in life.

He clearly left the door wide open to fire Mac.
Oh we want to lose  
Bill L : 12/1/2017 1:35 pm : link
but not lose badly? A loss is a loss IMO
I think a blowout at Oakland, which is entirely possible  
PatersonPlank : 12/1/2017 1:38 pm : link
since Oakland really needs this game, and a big loss at home to the Cowboys, gets Mac sent home early.
Damn, I'm hoping the last straw has already happened

One would have thought the loss to SF would have been enough.

The Eli debacle should have been enough.

The rams game...

I really question whether those demanding a firing have thought it out

Why would you fire a head coach with only 4 games left? What purpose does this serve? Changing coaches isn't going to change the course of the season- the Giants are already mathematically eliminated.

Further, a new guy- even if he just gets the interim tag- is going to go all out to win games. Right now, it is in the teams best long term interest to lose games and get the high pick.

Really, do you really want to finish 4-10 or 5-11 and get a pick around 9-14? How does that improve next year's team?

It is clear that many vets will be let go this winter, which makes the draft next year so much more important. You need a premium high pick to get a top talent.

A high pick also makes the round 2 pick MUCH more valuable. When teams assess the board after day 1, some falling guys might make some team desperate enough to trade some excellent picks for a top 3 pick on day 2.

Look, McAdoo isn't going to inspire this team to win games for him- that ship sailed a LONG time ago. He knows he is a "dead man walking" as far as his job prospects go. Let the team tailspin for the next 5 games, fire him then, and begin the rebuild.
If BM did as directed by Mara  
AnnapolisMike : 12/1/2017 1:45 pm : link
He will be around to the end of the season. If BM and Mara were NOT on the same page...He will be gone Sunday night if they lose badly.
Honestly  
tony71 : 12/1/2017 1:46 pm : link
For the first time ever, I hope the Giants get their asses handed to them so bad and Geno Smith has tons of interceptions. The only Unless part is if Geno gets knocked out of the game and McAdoo is forced to put Eli in, then I want to see him come back and whoop on the Raiders as a big ol middle finger to McAdoo and see what excuses he comes up with next week about benching Eli.
New guy or not  
Bill L : 12/1/2017 1:50 pm : link
Eli or not..

There really is nothing about this team which says they can win games going forward. I don't think they really have to try to lose to lose. (Which isn't to say that they aren't planning on trying to lose anyway...heck, if they perform per their norm, they'll probably go full bore on the tanking and end up winning out).
What's the point of getting rid of him with 4 games to go

good point. If anything it may placate the fanbase some. It really does not have an impact on the remainder of the season.

If he is fired then the question is does whoever takes over reinstate Eli as the starter or does he tow the party line and "see" what we have in the other QBs?

Just a little fun to speculate as we have nothing else to root for at the moment.
McAdoo has already proven that he is totally incompetent  
Red Dog : 12/1/2017 2:08 pm : link
to run an NFL team. He's not going to do anything now but delay the inevitable.

Fire his ass now. As in RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

Put Spagnolo in as interim HC with a directive on what to do at QB. He's got HC experience, and he knows what the deal is going forward. Direct him to have Mike Sullivan prepare Webb to get in some of the remaining games, which is what McAdouche SHOULD HAVE DONE after the September disaster.

That way the GIANTS can salvage something from the last four games by at least getting a look at Webb.
At the end of the day  
Koffman : 12/1/2017 2:12 pm : link
Mara has to know that he is quickly losing or has lost a lot of respect for some of the decisions McAdoo and Reese are making, and every week he keeps them employed makes it worse (as noted from the bad way the Eli benching was handeled).

I would think at some point Mara would want to regain the respect of the fans, former players, and likely current players by letting these guys walk.
jesus, we still need a "last straw"????  
Greg from LI : 12/1/2017 2:13 pm : link
They're 2 and fucking 9!!!! Players dogging it, suspensions, now the Eli fiasco......you almost get the feeling that McAdoo could pull a Lombardi around the parking lot behind his car a la Costanza and still not get fired yet.
I don't think it matters  
Mad Mike : 12/1/2017 2:15 pm : link
I think he's safe for the season, but gone after. Progressively uglier blowouts might change that, but I think it's unlikely they make a change at this point. I also think it's unlikely he can do anything at this point to save his job. And I certainly hope that's the case.
the last straw  
well...bye TC : 12/1/2017 2:17 pm : link
came this week. what happened with Eli is far worse than any loss. This debacle will not be forgotten or forgiven
How many times do we need to get blown out...  
EricJ : 12/1/2017 2:18 pm : link
before it becomes unacceptable? It has gone beyond unacceptable and an occasional good game sprinkled in does not mean that this team is "good" but just under performing. It may just mean that the opposition fucked up that day. It may just mean that both Denver and Kansas City suck too and they are losing to other teams as well.

All you need to do is step back and look at the last 5 years. This team is broken in so many ways and we are more than just a couple of players away.

What's the point?  
BBelle21 : 12/1/2017 2:21 pm : link
tbh, I wouldn't mind McAdoo getting fired, putting Spags or Sullivan as interim coach, and they re-insert Eli as the starter so us fans are given a chance to say good-bye to Eli. Not just for us adult fans, but I know kids who are heart broken that they didn't get a chance to say good-bye to Eli. They want to go see him one last time. It would do a lot of good in terms of getting back in good graces with the fanbase who are hurting right now thanks to the callousness of this clown HC.

He wasn't fired after being blown out by the winless, Beathard led niners...in which the team appeared to have quit. If that didn't get him fired, he is not getting fired with 4 games left even with the poor handling of Manning. I think there is zero chance he is coach next year though

moespree : 12/1/2017 3:06 pm : link
I say this because I do think Mara will want to avoid a hostile situation in the next home game against Dallas. If McAdoo is gone it takes some of the edge off the atmosphere. Otherwise it will be an ugly scene for all involved. It is not the Giants way...but does that even mean anything anymore?

Because he is an asshole. When you have employees that are terrible at their job while making your company look like shit you get rid of them immediately. Who cares who runs the team for the remainder of waste this year is?

Need a last straw so we can go on to the FINAL STRAW
I would like him to stay on for the remainder of the season  
Diver_Down : 12/1/2017 5:18 pm : link
only to see him bear the brunt of fans verbal abuse. But Mara should fire him and not based on reasons that are apparent. He should be fired because at this point he is the only public voice of this franchise. Being the public spokesman is only tarnishing the franchise further with every word he utters. On the other hand, I wouldn't be opposed to mitch300's scenario where Ben endures a perp-walk in front of fans.
I hope it's Raiders 95 Giants 0

YES!!
Just the statement that he had no regrets should have been sufficient for John Mara to fire him regardless of Sunday's outcome. (Add that to the fact that Webb STILL hasn't gotten any reps.)
Win or lose, McAdoo did the planning and thus "owns" the Oakland game. Midweek transition to Spags or Sully wouldn't make sense.
On the other hand, it is important that NYG management send a signal on Monday that what happened this week was an aberration. (If I were Mara, I'd do a "Mea Culpa" in the firing announcement.)
As we have seen this season, no conclusions can be drawn from a single game (e.g. Denver or KC). The evidence on McAdoo is already in.
The record aside  
Bubba : 12/2/2017 7:43 am : link
how he handled the Eli thing apparently is NOT how Mara wanted it to go. His arrogant responses to the media following the incident only inflames the situation. If this is not a terminable offense I don't know what is. He is a total embarrassment to the entire organization. ANY business that I am aware of would never tolerate this. I own a small business and would never put up with this.
