Eagles accelerated the process for Giants and Ben McAdoo
Mara: Possibility that he would join Eagles did not affect decision to hire him but sped it up
Asked about Philly job, McAdoo says: ‘I’m very happy to be a New York Giant’
On Wednesday afternoon, the Giants called Ben McAdoo and asked him to come in for a second interview on Thursday morning. Hue Jackson, originally scheduled to meet with the team at that time as the final candidate in the first round of interviews for head coach, already had decided to take the same job in Cleveland.
The trouble was that McAdoo couldn’t make that appointment, either. He was going to Philadelphia on Thursday for a second interview with the Eagles.
