Ben McAdoo tells Peter King he “needed to be better” for Odell Beckham

In the upcoming debut column for Peter King on NBC Sports, former New York Giants coach Ben McAdoo tells the long-time sports columnist that he feels he let down star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

“I needed to be better for him personally, as a coordinator and head coach,’’ McAdoo tells King. “I was too busy trying to scheme ways to get him the ball, especially early in my time in New York, that I didn’t step back and see the big picture the way I should have.”

McAdoo was offensive coordinator for the first two seasons of Beckham’s career and head coach for the last two — until being fired with four games remaining last season.
