As soon as it became available, the head coaching job for the New York Giants was considered the crown jewel of this year's class of vacancies.
A storied franchise in America's largest media market with a Pro Bowl quarterback and arguably the game's best wide receiver.
A team that not too long ago lifted the Lombardi Trophy as NFL champions.
On Wednesday the Giants settled on their next head coach, elevating Ben McAdoo from offensive coordinator to the big chair. And while retaining McAdoo affords the team continuity, at least offensively, the team may eventually realize that "settling" is exactly what it did.
