Fire McCoy?

[Shaggy]

The Cardinals scored twice by throwing downfield then don't throw past the sticks for the next two quarters. Just awful.

That's what was the major head scratcher to me. Seems McCoy was playing the preventive offence and just trying to kill the clock rather then put a nail in their coffin.

 

[Shaggy]

This was the first game where there was some decent calls, but too little too late. This whole coaching staff should go.

The only decent calls were on the first 2 drives. I even think both were scripted. The rest were put back on McCoys shoulder and that's why it all went south.

It felt like maybe McCoy was running late so someone else took over briefly - we went up 14-0 - then McCoy arrived and said "I got this."

Ha ha. I seriously think the first 2 drives were scripted and there were more coaches involved in those scripted plays then McCoy.

i wish we were on all or nothing this season.. would be interesting to hear what the players think of this coaching staff

 

[sr7706]

Play calling has been dogshit. Get McCoy out and see what Leftwich can do

I would do this yesterday..

 

[Lagerfilled]

I would do this yesterday..

Only 3 weeks in... fire McCoy, promote Leftwich or Garver; reinstate BAs terminology, and off we go!

We will never know. It is fun to speculate that Leftwich may have slipped Arian's plays into the first 10 plays.

 

[LarryStalling]

They need to hire Jim Unruh. He will make them great... at least offensively.

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

Leftwich was loved by BA and, IIRC, had endorsed him to be an OC in the near future

Most times I'd make a statement like the following... It would be 100% hyperbole, but I'm all but sure there are about 40+ guys on this board who could come up with a far more creative game-plan than McCoy.

I live in Charger country.... and I've had to deal with more texts than I can count, about how bad he SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSS.

At least if Lefttwich was calling the offense, you could call it a learning experience/rookie mistake... Instead we have a known crappy commodity in McCoy.... And that pisses me off to no end.

Without commenting on Mr. McCoy's strategy, don't forget this is the same stumblef*** franchise that fired Don Coryell. You guys & girls remember him?

 

[Ragnar]

Oh hell yes I’m on board fire’em!!

 

[Luciano]

Did they fire him yet ?!

 

[dylanbw]

Bump.

Sounds familiar...when Denver fired McCoy:

“I thought at this moment for our football team moving forward that a change was needed. I'm going from Mike to Bill Musgrave simply because I want to have a more efficient pass game. You have to have that,” Joseph said, while pinpointing the exact reason why he made a drastic change during his rookie season. “Our running game has been good, but our passing game has not been good, in my opinion. We have to find ways to have a pass game where it’s more completion passes. We can call them with more confidence. We can call them in hard parts of the game and execute. That hadn’t happened. So that’s why the change was ultimately made.”

Through the first 11 weeks of the NFL season, Denver has the sixth-worst completion percentage in the league at 58.8, only better than teams such as the 0-10 Cleveland Browns and the 1-9 San Francisco 49ers. In the team’s last six games, their quarterbacks have combined to only have one game with a completion percentage over 58.

I hope Keim/Bidwill don't need that much time

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I am not 100% this is on McCoy. This is exactly what Wilks said we where going to do from day 1.

Suck? I don’t remember that being communicated. Maybe I missed something.

 

[TRW]

Again I say, yes please

 

[Dback Jon]

Out of a cannon?

 

[cardjunkie]

I'm game bet we need someone to take his place that has experience. BL might be a step backwards.

Backwards I seriously doubt it.

McCoy is useless.

 

[moklerman]

It's amazing the parallels I'm seeing between what the Rams went through for so many years with Spagnuolo and Fisher and their various OC's and Wilks and McCoy. Maybe it isn't as obvious as it seems but it sure seems obvious that McCoy has vanilla, predictable system that isn't NFL caliber. Do we fans just not see some of the complexities that go into it or is it this obvious and the coaches/management somehow don't see it?

 

[JeffGollin]

Don't know enough about x's & o's or the team mgt structure or culture to automatically call for McCoy's head and threaten his livellihood.

And changing OC's 3 games into the season seems very uncool.

Yet things suck so badly that we may have to "declare victory" and start over - assuming the brass feels we can right the ship with different available people running the show.

It's easy for us folks in the peanut gallery, leaning back in our easy chairs, to state with a certain degree of certitude that "we know what to do" and " let's fire a bunch of guys." If it were that easy, we'd all have cushy front office jobs.

 

[blindseyed]

I'm bumping this thread for the fact that he called that stupid run play on 3rd down before the FG miss and Stevie Wonder could've seen what was coming

 

[Luciano]

Fire him already !
