EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants announced today that Ben McAdoo will become the 17th head coach in franchise history.
McAdoo, 38, was the team’s offensive coordinator the previous two seasons. He replaces Tom Coughlin, who stepped down last week after 12 seasons as the Giants’ coach.
“I am honored to serve as the 17th head coach in the history of the New York Giants franchise,” McAdoo said. “I am thankful to the Mara family, the Tisch family and Jerry Reese for this opportunity. I am appreciative of the support of my family, my wife Toni and our two children (Larkin and BJ) and my parents, brother and sister and in-laws back in Homer City, Pa.
