Baseball has the Mendoza Line

Where do we think McAdoo rates on a Handley line. Close? Above? Below?

Use our imaginations.
Hey he went 11-5 as a rookie coach

The wheels may have come off season 2 but he still made the playoffs.
Record wise

14 and 18 v. 13 and 16 (counting playoff loss)
dumb QB decisions - check
lost respect of players - check
lost ownership - check
lost the fan base - check
weird clothing choices: the shirt v. the suit - check

He is the worst GIANTS coach of the modern era.

Even Handley lasted longer than he did. And Handley did less damage to the overall team, too.
Sorry, I won't compare him to Handley.

But if the team had remained healthy, we could have gotten at least 7 or 8 wins, and he'd still be here. 11-5 benefitted from luck, but a bad coach wouldn't have accomplished that. It will take a long time for McAdoo to recover from midseason firing (and his Eli decision surely had the blessing of Reese if not Mara) but in the long run, he will be viewed as an average NFL head coach.

Did someone say ineptitude and cluelessness? Hold my beer...
I find the both

oddly similar in that I think I remember both being described as the smartest guy in the room types and both came across as smug and condescending.

Handley is the bigger loser of the two IMO because he took over a championship team (literally) while McAdoo was tasked with rebuilding the team to a championship caliber.

However McAdoo does earn the booby prize for worst single decision in how he chose to handle the entire Eli affair, and a second booby prize for the whole hair thing.

Basically they are both similar and yet uniquely horrible. I do think I dislike McAoo more but maybe that's just because his crap fest is so fresh, who knows? They both royally suck.
I don't get why Fassel gets picked on

A lot. He was here 7 yrs, had several successful seasons and took the team to a Super Bowl not really that bad.
