Ben McAdoo presents a perfect picture of a dead coach walking.
It happens just like that. First comes the losing — the close setbacks that make the difference between 0-5 and something somewhat more respectable. Then the catastrophic injuries, like the broken ankles pass-catchers Odell Beckham, Jr. and Brandon Marshall suffered last week against the Chargers. Throw Dwayne Harris’ broken foot and Sterling Shepard’s rolled ankle in there, too, and that’s four wideouts down in one game.
And then comes the dissension.
In this case, it was cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who showed exactly how much of a team player he is by walking out of camp due to a dispute over how McAdoo and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo used him.
