New York Giants Fans: How Confident Are You in Your Head Coach?

The McAdoos and McAdon'ts of coaching.

Giants head coach Ben McAdoo is speaking from the Combine and laying the foundation for a new regime in East Rutherford. As the Coughlin era ends, folks are wondering what McAdoo's Giants will look like. What are they looking for in a player? Will the system determine who they bring in, or will they be flexible? Is eyesight a key factor in draft position? Does Ben McAdoo know what he is doing? Let's take a look-see.

On the draft and free agency process:

McAdoo: We need to add pieces, but they have to be the right pieces. #NYGCombine

OK, that's fair, if not overly simplistic.

On his primary focus at the Combine:

McAdoo says the most important parts of the combine are the medical evaluations and looking a player in the eye. #NYGCombine

I mean, sure. I see where he's going with this one. It's important that each player has at least one functioning eye, preferably two. Organizations must do their due diligence.

On whether he would assume Tom Coughlin's identity in a weird Single White Female type of scenario:

McAdoo: I'm not going to try to be Tom (Coughlin). He's already taken. #NYGCombine

He says that now but then he starts showing up 15 minutes early to everything, getting red in the face about penalties, and freaking everyone out.

On his overall coaching philosophy:

Head Coach Ben McAdoo: We have to end the game with the lead. #NYGCombine

Totally on board with this one. With you one hundred percent.
