Ben McAdoo is back in the big leagues.
The former Giants head coach — fired after going 13-15 over two seasons with Big Blue — will join the Jaguars as a quarterbacks coach, according to multiple reports.
McAdoo, 42, was hard-pressed to find work for the past two seasons but found some traction after this past season, having interviewed for a spot on the Browns’ and Panthers’ staffs and being in the running for the Jags’ offensive coordinator gig. The job went to ex-Redskins head coach Jay Gruden instead.
A history coaching Aaron Rodgers and Eli Manning should give McAdoo some credibility as he works with upstart Gardner Minshew, the rookie QB who garnered plenty of attention with his heroics after stepping in for Nick Foles last season.
It of course was McAdoo who was coach when Manning was benched for Geno Smith in 2017, snapping the legendary Giants quarterback’s streak of 210 consecutive starts. McAdoo was fired shortly thereafter.
