[FONT='Times New Roman']Ben McAdoo: 10 things you should know about the Giants' new offensive coordinator[/FONT]"Ben McAdoo is the Giants' new offensive coordinator. So what do we know about him, other than that he was the Packers' quarterbacks coach the past two seasons?
1. His career is tracking toward a head coaching position. In fact, the Browns (I know, it doesn't really count) interviewed him for their HC job. "This is obviously a big step," McAdoo said after taking the Giants offensive coordinator job. "It's also another step in the progression of a coach's career. It's a golden opportunity for me. It's an opportunity I feel I've been groomed for." Look at the words he used: progression, groomed.
2. McAdoo installed the Packers' weekly red-zone package. Green Bay was sixth in the NFL in red-zone percentage in 2012, 26th this past season.
3. He signed a two-year contract with the Giants, making sure he had some job security with coach Tom Coughlin in the final year of his deal.
4. McAdoo had choices. He was in the running for a handful of jobs. Why the Giants? “Best organization in the NFL!” according to one league source.
5. He was hired over former Giants assistant Mike Sullivan, who got a public nod from WR Victor Cruz.
6. McAdoo is 36, and seems destined to be a head coach someday. The Giants now have control over his career.
7. He has no NFL playing experience and had to overcome player skepticism in Green Bay. "I'll say this, I think that the best teachers are the best coaches, "McAdoo said while in Green Bay. "If a former player is a great teacher, then that will only help him. I believe that's an advantage. But at the end of the day, I believe I'm a good teacher and I'm working at being a great teacher. I want to be the best teacher."
8. McAdoo appears to be another Packers quarterbacks coach destined to become a head coach, following Andy Reid and Mike McCarthy.
9. The Packers were grooming him to be quarterbacks coach long before he got that job two years ago. "Actually, this is something we've been preparing for," head coach Mike McCarthy said when McAdoo was promoted in 2012. "Ben has been an observant at the quarterback school. This is a promotion that we've been anticipating probably for the past two years." McAdoo left Green Bay because with Tom Clements as the Packers' OC, there was no logical promotion in sight after a successful stint as QBs coach.
10. McAdoo grew up in Western Pennsylvania, in a family of diehard Steelers fans. Who did the Packers beat to help McAdoo collect his only Super Bowl ring? The Steelers, of course."
