Breer: Why potential Ben McAdoo hire ‘makes sense' for Patriots

If you're a Patriots fan, you may not have been thrilled to see The MMQB's Albert Breer report New England is "in talks" to hire former New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo to its offensive coaching staff.

After all, McAdoo lasted just two seasons in New York, leading the Giants to the playoffs in 2016 but going 2-10 in 2017 before getting fired in early December. Since then, he's bounced between the Jacksonville Jaguars (quarterbacks coach in 2020), Dallas Cowboys (consultant in 2021) and Carolina Panthers (offensive coordinator in 2022) and was out of an NFL job last season.
