    They were ready to raise hell. I heard the fans were ready to burn their tickets outside the stadium.

    Why, because they fired a lousy coach and GM that hasn't does much to improve the team in the last few years?

    Too bad we can't be as good clowns as they are.

    Uncharacteristic for the Gints to dump the HC & the GM in season.

    They must have really fucked up.

    The Giants made the playoffs last year and they had some serious injuries this year I'm surprised they fired those guys.

    The team quit on McAdoo, especially the defense.

    Also, the owners were unhappy with how McAdoo handled the benching of Eli.

    I thought it wouldn't happen until the last Giants game of the season. I think a lot Giants fans soured on McAdoo after the Josh Brown thing, but the Maras were not innocent there for damn sure. Anyway, not a fan decision. Two-faced ownership in general.

    Eh, in public, maybe. I don't buy it that the Maras were completely in the dark on it. They probably used it as an excuse to jettison them to look "loyal" to Eli because attendance is in the basement. Yeah, I'm jaded. I'm also probably at least partially correct. I hate the Giants, so at the end of the day, I don't give a rat's ass. If they never win another game, that's fine by me. Karma for The New Dump.

    Reese ignoring the offensive line submarined the season for them but they should have cleaned house after coughlin was done. The whole organization had grown stale.

    The head coach benches the franchise QB. The owner says I didn't tell them to bench Eli like this. Starting the season with Superbowl aspirations but then going 2-10. All while owner looks like extreme schmuck. The coach saying he will work until his key card works to enter the building. The QB being an ex-Jet and rumors saying they started Geno because they never started a black QB in their history. The owner waiting one day after the game to fire coach and GM.

    Now I wouldn't mind if Jets tanked to secure top pick but when you like at Giants all you see is a messed up communication fiasco. I personally enjoy the show and Giants being the clown show on sports radio. Them tanking and securing the top pick, that I don't like.
    Hopefully.

    I posted it in the Geno thread.

    It was announced shortly after the firing that Eli will be the Week 14 starter.

    Mara told McAdoo he could coach first halves for the rest of the season, but he'd have to turn over second halves to Spagnuolo. McAdoo declined.

    What a circus!

    Once McAdoo insisted that Mara was on the same page, he was a dead man walking.
