EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Believing the team was spiraling out of control, the New York Giants went out of character by making two major in-season moves, firing coach Ben McAdoo and general manager Jerry Reese. Mara said neither McAdoo nor Reese was surprised by the decision, saying they were both professionals. “This has been the perfect storm this season,” Mara said. Former general manager Ernie Accorsi will be a consultant in hiring a new GM, whom Mara wants in place before a coach. Mara has candidates in mind for general manager and said it’s possible a new GM could be in place before the season ends.
