Yeah, however, the guy they "forced out" was Ray Perkins who went 24-34, was in his first HC job, had one winning season, and resigned to take the HC job at Alabama - his alma mater. Parcells was promoted but would have been fired after his first year if Howard Schnellenberger had accepted the Giants offer but he refused.

Slightly different than shoving a two-time Superbowl winner with a long HC resume out the door and keeping an OC in place so your franchise QB doesn't throw a hissy fit.

Not saying it wasn't time for TC to go - just saying McAdoo's hiring not exactly comparable to Parcells.
