Ben McAdoo

Giants fans will unquestionably point to multiple deficiencies on each side of the ball. If there are so many problems with the Giants, what happened? Well, let's look at the last playoff season for the Giants, 2016. There was a new head coach, Ben McAdoo. Tom Coughlin was politely sent packing by former general manager Jerry Reese after four dismal years in a row. Eli Manning was the quarterback in 2016. He threw for over 4000 yards and 26 touchdowns. Wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. owned over 1300 of those yards from Manning and had 10 of those touchdown receptions. To many, that was the end of the good times for Big Blue and their fans.

Could this coach find success again in the league?

The Giants' season has been an absolute mess but they are not alone. Bleacher Reports has an animated short called "Gridiron Heights" where they poke fun at various members of the NFL. This week's had me laughing because New York Giants' Head Coach Ben McAdoo got both barrels.

It seems like a near certainty that the Giants will need to make wholesale changes in the offseason.

Plus Levack and Goz try to figure out what has staying power this week on Monday Mirages.

Facing an 0-3 start to the season and with it, the all-but-guarantee of missing the playoffs (only 3 teams in NFL history have reached the postseason after losing its first 3 games), the Giants face arguably their toughest test yet.

Levack and Goz answer that question and more in this week's edition of Wednesday WHY?!

Live from Giants camp at the Quest Diagnostic training facility we had a chance to sit doen with ESPN.com's Jordan Ranaan. His sole job is to cover the the New York Football Giants. We got the inside scoop on Sterling Shepard, the fights at camp and Ben McAdoo's hidden meaning and phrases...

The New York Giants made a number of great splashes in free agency that paid off last off-season as the team had its first winning season since 2012-13. The additions of Olivier Vernon, Damon Harrison, and Janoris Jenkins, among others, proved their worth with their excellent play last season...

For the first time since 2010 the New York Giants have started a season 1-0. On Sunday, the Giants beat the Dallas Cowboys in a nail-biter 20-19. In a game that was dominated by the Dallas Cowboys as far as time-of-possession, the Giants were able to pull through on the back of quarterback Eli Manning who threw for three touchdown passes...

Just like everyone else I'm ready for football season. I'm also just as excited to see the New York Giants under new coach Ben McAdoo. For the first time in over a decade it won't be Tom Coughlin calling the shots for Big Blue. I went to Giants camp last week looking to find one negative vibe from McAdoo, but I never found it...

The New York Giants have gaping holes to fill in the draft. Newly appointed head coach Ben McAdoo looks to add play makers on both sides of the ball. Last season, the Giants had the worst defense in the NFL. In the off-season, general manager, Jerry Reese seemed like a man possessed as the Giants added DE Olivier Vernon, DT Damon Harrison, and CB Janoris Jenkins to help out the defense... Read Mor
