26CornerBlitz Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Cardinals Fire Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy Mike McCoy's short tenure as offensive coordinator of the Arizona Cardinals is over. Less than a day after the Cardinals suffered a 45-10 loss to the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football, Arizona fired McCoy following his seven-game stint with the team, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported, per a source. The team later made the news official. Quarterbacks coach Byron Leftwich is the new coordinator and play-caller, a source told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. McCoy has been fired three times over the last 22 months by three different NFL teams. The Chargersfired him as their head coach after the 2016 season and he was lost his job as the Broncos OC in November 2017. McCoy is the second coordinator to be fired in less than a week -- the Tampa Bay Buccaneers parted ways with defensive coordinator Mike Smith on Tuesday. Whether McCoy's dismissal will change the Cardinals' fortunes remain to be seen. Rosen remains very much a work in progress, and head coach Steve Wilks bears the bulk of the responsibility for the team's poor start. With only one win through seven games, there's a good chance Wilks could be one and done in the desert. Around The NFL will have more on McCoy's firing soon.

Bangarang Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 McCoy will get another OC job at some point. The coaching carousel of the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't know anything about these QBs until year 3. You can't evaluate these guys on a game by game basis because they are all rookies and are going to have severe highs and lows. All of these QBs have had them this season and it will be a long time before we know which ones are good and bad when it's all said and done.

Big Turk Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 McCoy has been fired pretty quickly in his last 2 OC jobs...once considered a young, rising superstar like McVay it looks like he might be starting to flame out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 If it takes Leftwich less time to get a good play in than it did for him to wind up and throw a football, the Cards just may have something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was with Kyle Orton and Tim Tebow as his QB's. What the heck happened? The offense with Tebow was good? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My word that looping delivery! But I'll tell you what: being on the field for the warm-ups of the Miami (OH)-Marshall games when I covered the MAC, the sound that the ball made when either Lord Byron or Big Ben let go a spiral was incredible. Worth noting that the sound the ball makes when Allen spins one in there is, unbelievably, even more impressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never forget the game where Byron was being carried to the next play by his lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt Leftwich could sling it, but that advantage is lost with a long delivery time. Back in the day, down on the sidelines at practices, etc, I remember James Harris's ball making that noise. Strongest arm I've ever witnessed personally. It's even more impressive to a wide-eyed kid, too. So I'm sure my memory tends to embellish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
