With the Giants record at 3-6 headed into Week 11, speculation is already swirling that Tom Coughlin's second losing season in a row could be his last in New York. Meanwhile, it was proposed this week by NJ.com that perhaps offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo could be the heir apparent for the G-Men.

On Wednesday, ESPN NFL Business Analyst Andrew Brandt confirmed that McAdoo as a head coaching candidate is not a far fetched idea of any sort.

"I had calls this off-season from teams looking for head coaches, asking me about Ben McAdoo," said Brandt (around the 10:10 mark), with Armen and Levack on 104.5 The Team. "He’s got a bright future."

Brandt, the former Vice President of the Packers, was in Green Bay at the same time that McAdoo was an assistant on the staff.

"I  saw players really relate to him," said Brandt. "He had to deal with some guys that would be hard to tame down in terms of work ethic and discipline, and he did it very well.

"I thought that guy had a real chance to succeed because he just seemed to have a good way about him relating to players. And schematically we were always successful at tight end.”

McAdoo was the tight end coach for five years before being promoted to quarterback coach in 2013. Most recently, Coughlin and General Manager Jerry Reese brought in McAdoo as a first year offensive coordinator this past off-season, looking for a different identity.

It's possible that Reese could be searching for a head coach next year and perhaps it's not out of the realm of possibilities to believe that McAdoo could be in the mix. If hired to lead an NFL team next season, McAdoo, currently 37, would be the youngest coach in the league by nearly four years.
