PHILADELPHIA – Kansas City offensive coordinator Doug Pederson has accepted the Philadelphia Eagles’ offer to become their coach, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press. The Giants just wanted a fall guy, which is all Coughlin will be remembered as now.

Coughlin, a disciplinarian many former players said was a father figure and role model in NY, is viewed as the opposite of Kelly. The Giants went into the season with a lackluster pass rush that didn’t start to see life until JPP came back with the season half gone.

The Giants coaching search appears to be over and their top candidate was right under their nose all along.

McAdoo’s coaching career began as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Homer-Center High School in Pennsylvania.

That aggressive play calling, though, is part of McAdoo’s game. Players are professionals and will adhere to whatever method is being imposed on them.

Shorr-Parks adds that Shurmur could keep some components of Kelly’s offense, but add of his “own wrinkles” as well.

He collected a 9-23 record during that span.

Friedman went on to coach the Brooklyn Dodgers of the National Football League in 1932, and coached at Brandeis University from 1951-59.

McAdoo, 38, learned under Mike McCarthy in San Francisco and Green Bay, rising to the position of Packers quarterbacks coach before being hired as the Giants offensive coordinator in 2014.

Liam is a 20 year old sports journalist and Motorsport Commentator from the United Kingdom and founder of the Philly Sports Network. — has helped revive the offense. He had 18 touchdowns and 27 interceptions in 2013.

“Coughlin feels that he has two to three years left as a coach and wants to win right away, a source told Graziano”. McAdoo was immediately considered a potential successor to Coughlin. The Giants had missed the playoffs in each of the four seasons since winning the Super Bowl in 2011. The Dolphins’ Adam Gase is 37.

Of course, there is plenty of reaction coming in from media outlets across the country.

“We were all impressed with his energy, his enthusiasm, his vision and his desire”, Mara said. “If Greg Hardy isn’t back, Buckner is a great fit”. Nobody coaches forever. And for those who do, it rarely ends well. The No. 1 thing you love about Buckner: major motor. Over the last two years, he is 0-4 against the Eagles. But the 35-year-old quarterback isn’t the one that will need convincing.
