This is the third time in franchise history that the Giants have fired their head coach midseason.

Giants have NFL's biggest decline in winning percentage from 2016 to 2017. The New York Giants in 2016 were 11-5, now in 2017 they are 2-10, this is a 52% decrease.

The Giants have had one of the worst offenses in the NFL since Ben McAdoo was hired as the head coach. Only Browns and Bears have scored fewer points per game since 2016.

Ben McAdoo decided to start Geno Smith in place of Eli Manning in Week 13, 2017. This ended Eli Manning's 210 consecutive starts streak.

In the Super Bowl era, there have only been four head coach coaches to last 2 years-or-fewer with their team despite a 10-win season during their tenure. New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo lasted from 2016-17 and Oakland Raiders head coach Bill Callahan was fired after coaching from 2002-2003.

Jerry Reese was Senior VP/General Manager of Giants since January 16, 2007. Prior to this position, Reese was Director of Player Personnel from 2002-2006 and Assistant Director of Pro Personnel from 1999-2002.

Jerry Reese was able to draft impactful players in the early rounds during his tenure as GM. Notable draft picks under Reese were Evan Engram in 2017 and Sterling Shepard in 2016.
