New York Giants coach Ben McAdoo and general manager Jerry Reese were each relieved of their duties Monday morning following a week of backlash in response to the benching of quarterback Eli Manning.

Of course, McAdoo and Reese were fired primarily because of the Giants’ 2-10 record, but the outrage from fans regarding decisions made in the past week seemed to be the final straw.

When the Giants announced the decision to bench Manning last Tuesday, the NFL world went into complete shock. Players, both former and current, as well as coaches went to bat for Manning, whom many viewed as the scapegoat for McAdoo’s struggles.

Not even 24 hours after the Giants’ 24-17 loss to the Oakland Raiders, McAdoo found himself without a job.

With defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo serving as interim head coach for the Giants, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports that Manning is expected to return to his role as the starting quarterback.

Yet, according to Raanan, there are still people in East Rutherford that believe Manning is at the end of his career.

Though McAdoo and Reese were fired in wake of the mess created by Manning’s benching, there are now reports that Ben and Jerry were far from the only members of the Giants coaching staff that pushed for the team to move on from Manning.

It still remains a possibility that Davis Webb could earn reps at quarterback for the Giants as the season progresses. It would be surprising for Spagnuolo to call Geno Smith’s number after his underwhelming performance in Week 13.

Based on ESPN’s recent report, Manning will be under center against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. But simply firing McAdoo and Reese will not solve the problem that exists for the Giants at quarterback.

With Big Blue expected to hold a high pick in a draft stacked with quarterback talent next spring, Webb sitting on the bench and Manning hoping to play football next season, the future is murky for the Giants when it comes to the quarterback position.
