Going into this season, no one could have expected that the Giants would be replacing a coach before it finished. The Giants hired McAdoo away from Green Bay in 2014 to serve as Tom Coughlin's offensive co-ordinator. He was elevated to head coach on Jan. 14, 2016, less than two weeks after Coughlin was forced out after missing the playoffs for the fourth straight season. Before this move, the shortest stay by a Giants' head coach in recent years was that of Ray Handley — he was fired after the 1992 season. The only other time the team fired a head coach in midseason was in 1930 when LeRoy Andrews was replaced by Benny Friedman and Steve Owen.
