New York Giants: Ben McAdoo is the common man’s coach

New York Giants Head Coach Ben McAdoo had a great first season running the team. His coaching style isn’t flashy, but it’s the kind fans love to watch.

New York Giants fans were treated to an awesome first season out of head coach Ben McAdoo.

McAdoo went 11-5 in his first season at the helm, and the way he did it was classy. There were no gimmicks, no fanfare, he just won.

He had a tough act to follow after Tom Coughlin etched himself into Giants folklore forever. However, we have to credit this man for not losing touch of his roots as a coach.

When players and coaches move into big markets, they tend to feed into the hullabaloo. They gain egos and become something they’ve never been before.

McAdoo is the people’s coach.

He looks like an average Joe, but he has a great offensive mind.

The Tom Coughlin era was that of intimidation. The Ben McAdoo era is something a little different.

He kind of reminds you of your dad coaching Pop Warner Football. He’s very supportive and he’s quite. He doesn’t do anything to really intimidate anyone.

I’ll be honest, when Coughlin got fired, I was devastated. I loved his hardnosed approach to coaching, but times changed, and Coughlin stayed the same.

The way McAdoo coaches is the new school of coaching. There’s is no intimidation, it’s just pure motivation, and it works.

With guys like Odell Beckham Jr., there’s just no taming them. You can’t intimidate Odell, you have to work with him. I think McAdoo is doing a great job with the perennial Pro-Bowler, and it shows how the coaching game is changing.

In this era of superstars, a quiet coach like McAdoo is exactly what the Giants need. A coach by the common man, for the common man.
