The New York Giants have had more than their fair share of troubles this year as they have won only two games and they haven't even looked competitive in some of those games. Now they've reportedly decided to fire not only head coach Ben McAdoo, but they are getting rid of the general manager as well.

Giants also have fired GM Jerry Reese, as @AKinkhabwala reported. Wholesale changes for Giants.

They have already named their interim head coach as well:

The Giants infamously benched Eli Manning and right after he moved up to No. 2 on the list of quarterbacks with most consecutive starts. That certainly had to be a catalyst for the firing as well as the ineptitude on offense this season:
WOW, Giants offense w Ben McAdoo as head coach:
32nd in first downs gained
29th in success rate
30th in points scored
29th in time of possession
31st in red zone trips made
29th in total yards
31st in 3rd down %
29th in first half points

McAdoo finishes his tenure as Giants coach with a 13-15 record after the team got to the playoffs last year at 11-5.
