Maybe time to bump this again. Here's part of a Florio report from ProFootballTalk:
Now that McAdoo is out, should he ever have been in?

Three weeks after the Giants reacted to a report of a potential Ben McAdoo firing by claiming that he’d be on the job for the rest of the year, he’s out. The question remains whether he ever should have been in.
Hired from Green Bay to bring an unimaginative, non-creative, system-obsessed offense to New York, McAdoo did enough to be in the right place at the right time when ownership decided to fire Tom Coughlin, keep everyone else, and promote the offensive coordinator. Last year, McAdoo led the Giants to an unlikely playoff berth, seemingly securing his status for years to come.
But flaws that emerged with the offense late last year lingered, with the offense sputtering and McAdoo seeming to be less and less of a guy who gets it.
A little cola came out of my nose when I hit the underlined part. Too bad McAdoo didn't have Rodgers to bail him out. At least the Giants moved decisively to correct their mistake less than one year removed from the playoffs!
