Glad to see this. Panthers have a better shot to get Whisenhunt as OC (and he’d be great here, since we have more than 1 offensive weapon, unlike the Cardinals).

When McCoy was QB coach here in Carolina, he got a lot of respect. He earned it – all he had to work with was Jake Delhomme, Matt Moore and a head coach that likes punting and doesn’t believe in the forward pass, and he managed to help us at least stay medicore. He has some weapons to work with in San Diego, so he should do fine.

McCoy don’t do it! There is a reason the Manning clan refused to sign there.

—————-

His name is A.J. Smith, and he is gone now.

Tough to tell how he’ll do running a team on his own, but a HUGE loss for Denver. Talk about the ability to adjust on the fly–McCoy started a season with Orton as QB, totally threw that offense out in midseason to become a team that could with with Tebow, then went to Peyton Manning at the start of the very next season. That’s some incredible versatility.

He has only ever done well with Peyton Manning under center for him. (Don’t even try to tell me that the offense was good with Tebow.)

A lot of work. Defense is suspect at the corners and linebacker positions. Offensive line needs to be totally changed. Running backs seem to leave for better places to play or can’t stay healthy and Rivers is worried about his health more than winning a game. Don’t lose the punter or the field goal kicker because they are the only reason this team has a chance to win a game.

Manning couldnt throw past 10 yards. thats why they didnt go for it at the end of regulation.

You know it really crossed my mind after what happened in the playoff game that John Elway might fire John Fox and promote this guy to the head coach positon

This guy’s play calling was a clown show……I’m glad he is gone!

Now – if we could get Fox and Del Rio out….it would be a wonderful day.

Thanks to Mike for the work he has done for us but as of right now he is the enemy.

His game plan for Tebow was awesome – sequential 3-and-outs, and then let Timmy and Prater pull out a sandlot miracle in the last eight minutes.

Did they ask him what he would do in that take a knee scenario?

Orton flopped while running McCoy’s offense, Tebow was only effective when the play broke down and Manning audibled out of a majority of McCoy’s calls. Denver’s offensive success has been in spite of McCoy, not because of him. Bolts fans will be calling for his head weeks into the 2013 season.

I respect the fact that he did wonders with the Broncos during the 2011 season. Going from Orton to Tebow and getting success out of it is great. However, lets not get too hasty in heaping praise on what he did with Manning this year. Just like all elite QBs, their offensive coordinator does not dictate the game plan, rather, he just asks ‘What do you like?’ and then tailors a game plan around it. Manning ran that offense this year and McCoy is just another coordinator that will eat off an elite QB.

Do the Chargers know that Peyton Manning isn`t coming along with McCoy ?

After 1 1/2 playoff one and dones, I guess it was time for McCoy to split while he was still in demand.

He’ll have Rivers and a half way decent offense, but they have to find a running game that split when Sproles and Mike Tolbert bolted for Free agency.

I’m kinda glad he’s gone, he’s was way to conservative on Saturdays game. Thanks to Payton that we even went this far. I hope he stinks up San Diego and all those fake blackout fans out there.

I was actually hoping they would interview Arians first before making a decision but I hope Telesco is making a good choice.

This proves that McCoy hates the Broncos. Why does he hate them?

1) They fired the guy who hired him, Josh McDope, McCoy’s idol (and love toy).

2) They made him give up his copied McDope offense to one that would compliment Tebow’s style (McCoy then called the worst plays to make TT look as bad as possible).

3) The Broncos hired Peyton Manning which made McCoy about as useful as teats on a bore hog.

Good riddance to the traitor, he will bring the Chargers down to the level of the Raiders and Chiefs.

He didn’t run the offense this year…MegaHead’s ego is too big to let that happen. McCoy was just an innocent bystander, I don’t blame him for wanting to get away from the Donkey circus.

I really don’t get all the excitement over McCoy. The Orton years were putrid. Everyone says the defense and special teams won all those games with Tebow – let’s face it, the few great drives in those games were due to Tebow, not McCoy. And Fred Flintstone could coach Peyton Manning to a good season.

You have to figure that his recent health issue damaged Arians for NFL HC jobs. He is probably better off being chuckstrong and maybe looking for another college gig next year.

I can’t help but think that Horton is a bad move for Arizona. Why hire a defense guy when your problems were on offense?

Not sold on Bradley, either, but the Eagles like to pick inexperienced guys – at least that has been true with Lurie owning the team. The GM situation there really makes it impossible for anyone with experience to take that job, even before you talk about the overzealous Philadelphia media.

I do think Marc Trestman has the potential to be a good HC. And I am surprised that Jack Del Rio and Jim Haslett have not been in the mix for jobs. And the ignorance on Lovie Smith is just stunning.

AND all this after McDaniels traded away the 4 best offensive players in Marshall, Cutler, Hillis, and Scheffler

lmao @all these pathetic bronco fans….McCoy was one of the reasons they made the playoffs the last 2years (that and a horrible division) and all of a sudden its good riddance? lmaooooo he was the oc of an offense where the qb couldn’t throw and STILL made the playoffs, im a pats fan in California by the way, so i have no dog in this fight. The reason Rivers has struggled is because AJ smith let all his offensive talent walk away….ladanian, sproles, tolbert, Vincent Jackson, michael turner…etc…..its looking like that might b changing, but for bronco fans to act like McCoy is somehow a bad coach is LAUGHABLE

Too much of a conservative coach for Denver.. He’s a younger Norv Turner.

Let’s see how many people who are “outraged” by the Rooney rule express such concern for another white guy who’s done nothing in the NFL getting another job that odds say he’ll probably fail at. I’ll wait for the same outrage that comes up anytime a black candidate just interviews for a job even when they have superior credentials to do so.

Rivers needs a coach that will keep him motivated and I’m not sure he gets it with McCoy.
