Well McCoy was able to get the "best" out of Tebow and win a playoff game with him, so I am ok with this if true. All I know is that whatever the hell Kubiak was trying to run was archaic and fooled no one. The last 2 years were a waste on offense, especially considering that we had a historic one not too long ago. Not saying Siemian and Lynch can pull off what Peyton did, but the dropoff was ridiculous. If we can get back to a Plummer level of offensive production I'd be over the moon as long as we have a great defense.

If he's at all successful, he'll get another Head coaching opportunity next year.

Frankly, I'm not sure why fans are so bent out of shape about this. I'm much more worried about losing Wade Phillips. They can't screw up the offense, because it's already rock bottom. But, any change for the defense can only make it worse, it can't get any better from being one of the best defenses in NFL history and winning a SB.

Maybe, right now I doubt it because McCoy will only be one year removed from the cluster ______ that he presided over the past five seasons. Teams are not going to be inclined to give him another bite of the apple that quickly.

Tebow got carried by his defense, sucked at literally everything and was a laughable leader.

Kubiak could suit up tomorrow and be a better QB, until his last stop he had top offenses everywhere he went and helped bring the Broncos 3 SB's, he's a lock for Ring of Fame. Best of all, he was never a greedy ****ing attention whore.

You might think that, but just wait! It's normal for head coaches who fail with one team to get a second chance. They go back to being coordinators which they normally do well. Being a good coordinator is normally how you get a head coaching job in the first place. Then they spend a year or two as coordinator.

Then they talk about how much they learned from their previous experience.

Was there ever a bigger train wreck than Josh McMoron? Not only did he lose massively, he embarrassed the franchise with spy-gate. Yet, here he is a top head coach contender. He's likely to wind up in SF.

McCoy will get another chance - just watch and see!

Per USA Today's Bronco's Wire late 1/12/17:
The team has “mutually agreed” to part ways with offensive line coach Clancy Barone, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. A potential candidate to replace him is Jeremiah Washburn. Denver has already received permission from the Dolphins to interview Washburn, according to Klis.

Offensive coordinator Rick Dennison has also been relieved of his duties. He will be replaced by Mike McCoy, who is finalizing a deal with the Broncos.

According to Klis and KMGH-TV’s Troy Renck, special teams assistant Tony Coakum, offensive line assistant Jim Cregg and tight ends coach Brian Pariani are also gone.

Joe DeCamillis, the team’s special teams coordinator, has left to join the Jaguars. And Denver’s defensive coordinator, Wade Phillips, is leaving to join the Rams.

Eric Studesville, their running backs coach, is set to interview with the Jets for their vacant offensive coordinator position. Quarterbacks coach Greg Knapp has apparently been left in limbo—there have been no reports about his status with the team.

Sounds like Elway wants to make the QB competition fair so that means McCoy and Musgrave will be flexible with Paxton and Trevor which is cool. I also wonder if getting Musgrave in there makes it easy to slide him up to OC if he works out? I can't imagine McCoy will be here long if he still has HC aspirations.

SF wants to hire a HC & GM combo (at the same time). Reports are a McDaniel/Riddick combo, and Steve Young endorses Riddick. Also, McDaniels will try to trade for Garopollo. Some shock jock came up with the idea of a Shanahan/Shanahan combo (Kyle HC & Mike GM), and a lot of the fan base has jumped on this bandwagon. It's not a bad gig with #2 pick and $78 million in cap space, and a HC/GM can rebuild as they wish.

McMoron has ruled himself out of SF. The Patriots are going to win every year. He loses nothing by waiting for the best possible opportunity, since as long as they have Brady, their offense is going to be great, in which case he'll remain in demand as a potential Head Coach.

He just has to come up with convincing answers to questions like "why did you suck so horribly in Denver that they hate you still to this day?" or "what were you thinking ordering your assistant coaches to keep quiet about your taping opposing teams without their knowledge on pain of getting fired?" Or, "why should we think you will suck less if we bring you here and give you another chance?"

Most of the blame for the Cards' O state of affairs falls on their FO who should've been looking for Palmer's replacement at least 2 years ago when it was clear to everyone but them that they needed to move on. So, being complete unprepared for a retirement that should've happened years ago, they bring in a veteran QB who has never experienced a winning season in the NFL as a starting QB* as a stop gap for the QBotF that they finally drafted this year.

*Being 2-0 last season because he had 1 good game & 1 game he got bailed out by Keenum doesn't count.

I remember people being excited when we brought him back last year...Like, seriously? Do you not remember how bad we all hated him before he left the last time? Are your memories that short? It amazed me how no one outside of maybe you and I actually hated him coming back.

So are you saying Tebow could have been good with a different OC? :couch:

He is the worst. Saw it coming miles and years away. No one listened. We finally learned our lesson. The chargers learned theirs. The cards will soon learn theirs. People had such low opinions of tebow that they thought because we won it was mccoy calling run plays over and over was genius. Or the OT play against the steel was genuis when I was saying in the first quarter we should do that. He is bad. He is bob slowick bad......Ok, he is not as bad as Bob slowick, but he is bad. Very very bad Mr. King.

Oh, there is no denying that! McCoy is the worst. So, verrry, verrrrrrrrry bad!

Last year they had two wildly inexperienced and incredibly shaky and marginally capable QBs. To get through a season with Trevor Siemian, and Paxton Lynch.

Then top it off with Brock Osweiler, who was so bad once he got his chance at a starting role that they hate him wildly to this day in Houston.

So, with that trio of QBs, and a shaky offensive line, the only logical thing to do would be to run the ball as well as they could, and get the ball out of Siemians' hands as quickly as possible - absolutely within 2.5 seconds, perferrably within 2 seconds at the latest.

Because that 2.0 seconds was absolutely the most time that crapp-tastic OL could block an ordinary DL. But, the Broncos played 6 divisional games against Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram, Kalil Mack and Justin Houston, so it was actually less than 2.0 seconds much of the time.

And what did Captain Genius call in that highly questionable situation? He called a series of 5 step and 7 step drops and shot-gun. He called pass plays like he still had Phillip Rivers, a 15 year veteran QB who handles pressure and gets rid of the ball vastly better than Trevor Siemian, or Osweiler.

He was auditioning for a new head coaching job is exactly what he was doing. And he knew that he could never hope to secure said head coaching job if he simply ran the kind of dink-and-dunk, and run the ball more offense his QBs were capable of.

He needed to do something more spectacular to draw NFL GM's attention. It might not work, but it was his only shot to impress other GMs.

Idiot!

He was so bad and so intransigent and refused game after game to change anything.

Elway would go to Joseph and say "what are you doing? Our QBs are getting killed out there! What the hell are you calling those 5 and 7 step drops out there for? We need to run the ball more! Take shorter drops and get the ball out of Siemians' hands faster!"

And all Joseph could do was shrug and say "this is what Mike wants to run. I'll go have a talk with him."

And Joseph would go talk with Mike and they'd hash it out and reach agreement, but then when the game-time came around, somehow nothing had changed.

It got so bad that they had to completely Fire McCoy in mid-season and Elway was so disgusted with Joseph's inability to control his own assistant coaches that he almost fired Joseph, before "sleeping on it" and re-considering his decision in the morning.

All because of Mike McCoy. That's how bad he was!

Its such a treat to have a coordinator like Bill Musgrave. He's likely to get a head coaching job after this season if his offense is as well run as it was in the first game.

The Cards offense crossed midfield once today - the 2nd to last play of the game.

They're still better then they were during the 3 seasons between Warner & Palmer because Bradford is at least smart enough to throw it to Fitz.

One of Elway's biggest mistakes. I heard VJ was leading the call to hire him as well, so his bad too. McCoy is a ***** that is running a system that can only succeed with Tom Brady. I'm not positive but I believe every single Bellidick HC derivative is a loser in the win-loss column. Bellidick's system gave NE it's first few seasons of success. The league would have caught up and he would be a footnote, if it weren't for Brady...and Brady's relative unselfishness regarding pay (allowing the team to keep winners over the years). McCoy may one day have the cerebral puppet he needs in Rosen but I doubt he survives as an OC in Arizona long enough to see it. He is not an offensive coordinator; An OC would coach up every player and coach under him. He is a DB that refuses to open his mind during a game, or season, to do anything but continue on his course, which he thinks is infallible. In his world, his career has been a plague of teams that fail to live up to his greatness, as apposed to a string of teams that got ****** by their GMS and hired him. Connections and ego still rule in the NFL, so he still has a job. Even leaving behind his responsibilities as THE leader of the offense, his mortally antiquated and rigid-as-a-corpse play calling sucks. Period.

Soooooo glad he is gone and we get to win against him this year. A freebee, IMO.

I'm saying that cobbling together a college system isn't as impressive as everyone made it out to be and he was vastly, vastly overrated.

Head coaches pick their assistants, not the GM (or EVPFO as it were). So, other than Elway being the guy who hired VJ, how is McCoy Elway's fault?

I would say that as part of the interview process, HC candidates talk about who they want as coordinators. I’m sure Elway was aware that McCoy was a guy VJ wanted

this comment resonates with some of what we heard about mccoy last year when we shitcanned him. . .


[Head coach Steve Wilks] said that the team will also be scaled back in terms of the amount of plays that they have in the mix from week to week.

I have heard lots of rumblings via message boards(could just be dumb rumors) that Bradford cant handle such extensive play calling and the McCoy is losing players confidence, by not getting DJ the ball. Thats typical dink and dunk we saw here, along with avoiding the run like the plague trying to get cute after Trevor's usually 2nd int lol. I think Bradford's YPA is like 3.8 or something right now.....ouch!

It has been enough for them to pare back the playbook to focus on fewer plays when they face the Bears this Sunday. Bradford explained what the team hopes will happen as a result of this change.

“Just make sure that the plays that we have in the game plan everyone’s comfortable with versus multiple looks,” Bradford said, via the Associated Press. “Just really feel like we own the plays that are in the game that week as opposed to having so many calls on the sheet that maybe we know them but we’re not owning them the way that we should. I think the thought is just allow everyone to go out there and play faster, simplify everything a little bit and hopefully it shows up in the speed in which we play.”
