NFL Network and NFL.Com reported that McAdoo would replace
Tom Coughlin, who stepped down last week after winning two Super
Bowls in 12 seasons with the National Football League team.
McAdoo, who would take over a team that finished the 2015 season
with a 6-10 record, has been coaching in the NFL since 2004. The
38-year-old spent eight seasons with the Green Bay Packers
before moving to New York in 2014.
The move would give the Giants and quarterback Eli Manning a
measure of offensive continuity.
McAdoo had also been interviewed for the vacant head coach
position at the Philadelphia Eagles, who have yet to announce a
replacement for Chip Kelly.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Cleveland Browns appointed former
Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson as their
new head coach.
