Pat Shurmur out-coached badly as Giants run into familiar problems | Politi

Pat Shurmur is having the same issues as Giants head coach as the man he replaced. No one is declaring him a failure after four games -- although, just in case, I'm going to trademark "McAdoo-2" -- but it's fair to point out the obvious about this football team.

The coaching change hasn't come close to solving its problems. Ben McAdoo was held up as the primary scapegoat for the 3-13 season a year ago, and after he and co-conspirator GM Jerry Reese were shown the door, Shurmur was brought in as the seasoned veteran who wouldn't make the same mistakes.
