The Cowboys have hired former Giants head coach Ben McAdoo as a consultant (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo). Now, McAdoo is set to face his former squad twice in 2021. He’ll also get to reunite with head coach Mike McCarthy — the two last worked together in Green Bay with McAdoo serving as the quarterbacks coach.
McAdoo climbed up the NFL coaching ranks during his stints with the Saints, 49ers, and Packers. He caught on with the Giants in 2014 as their offensive coordinator, improving the squad from the 28th-highest-scoring offense to the sixth-highest-scoring offense. Ownership and the front office turned to their OC after Tom Coughlin stepped down, making McAdoo their 17th head coach in franchise history.
The Giants went 11-5 during McAdoo’s first season as the helm, although the team lost to the Packers in that year’s Wild Card Game. New York stumbled to a 2-10 record to start the 2017 campaign, and the organization ended up firing both their head coach and general manager Jerry Reese before the end of the year.
Since that time, McAdoo has seemingly been out of football altogether. The coach has worked with the likes of Aaron Rodgers and Eli Manning throughout his career. Now, he’ll be asked to strategize around Dak Prescott.
Lol
Dak Prescott about to do a lot more 7 step drops.
He’s definitely dropping, that’s for sure.
lmao. I’m sure he’s a decent enough guy, but he was so in over his head as a head coach. Good luck to him.
Drop back, run around, duck under an arm tackle, and then bomb it down field to an open reciever.
Haha this guy is a joke. I’ll never forget him benching Eli, ruining his like 180 straight start streak for Geno f*****g Smith. One of the biggest head scratching moves I’ve ever seen.
one team’s trash is another team’s treasure, I guess
Wth, cowboys?? Don’t you learn after watching him on other side in few games? Seriously????
McCarthy is desperate to show the problem in Green Bay was Rodgers, not him. I think he’s only partly correct. They both suck.
You might prove that Rodgers is a blowhard, but you’re going to have a hard time proving that he sucks.
Good move.
