You can make a strong argument for firing all of them IMO.
We are allowing 151 yards rushing per game, 4.4 per carry. last year we allowed 89.6 yards per game rushing and 3.5 ypc. The important fact there, last year we lost Calais Campbell and yet allowed 5 yards less per game rushing, and lowered the YPC number from 3.6 to 3.5 This year there were obviously personnel changes but largely the biggest difference is new coaching staff and going 4-3. This has been a good run defense for several years now, this year we're awful.
The offense has of course fallen off a cliff two years ago we averaged 376 yards per game, last year 314, this year 220. Last year we were of course dealing with the loss of DJ and during the year the loss of Palmer plus massive OL injuries. This year we got Johnson back, got Humphries back and got both a high priced FA QB and a high 1st round pick QB. The OL appears to be actually worse this year, and the WR's are not even close to last year.
The talent level is the fault of Keim, and I have no issue with him being fired. The scheme and coaching is on Wilks and McCoy and you can make a strong argument that both of them should be fired. I don't think you can fire a whole staff midseason, so I would start with McCoy.
Unless we start playing better soon, we better come out of the bye week with some major changes. We have a short week this week a Thur game at home with Denver, very good defense going to be a major test for Rosen. Then SF who we beat already, then a bye. After the bye we play in KC, tough place to debut a new OC given how well they're playing but also a tough place to trot out McCoy if nothing has gotten better, you're going to get absolutely hammered with this offense against that team
