EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- There was no shying away from his sky-high expectations. Ben McAdoo went straight to the mountaintop.

Tom Coughlin’s successor is aiming to immediately step into his mentor’s massive shoes. And why not? There’s no harm in eyeing the ultimate prize in professional football. It’s what every team does each spring and summer when they’re undefeated.
But McAdoo knows that Super Bowls aren’t won at podiums.
