Comments on: Philip Rivers: Mike McCoy was guy I was hoping for http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/16/philip-rivers-mike-mccoy-was-guy-i-was-hoping-for/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Tue, 21 May 2013 16:24:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: realitycheck21 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/16/philip-rivers-mike-mccoy-was-guy-i-was-hoping-for/#comment-2278870 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 02:08:30 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1645491#comment-2278870 I’m with those who believe Arians would have been the better hire. More experience and more of a disciplinarian. The whole team was allowed to underachieve for far too long. And now if Rivers continues to turn the ball over, he’ll be networking with Norv. A new coach might improve his overall play a bit, but will do NOTHING to guard against those recurring brain farts Rivers gets which cause him when the game is on the line, to throw it right to a defender, thus ending the chance of any comeback to salvage a win. Hope McCoy starts planning for a new qb and rb soon.

He was a good coach in Denver and has a way with qbs. This is a first time head coach though so I think the charger fans will have to be patient with him….

He was poised and gave firm answers, but showed some personality.

If this move doesn’t straighten out your play, then you are gone.

Mike McCoy is totally overrated. Arians turned Roethlisberger into a prolific QB, and Rivers is far more talented than the Berger.

Translation: Norv was a nice guy and that’s why I always talked him up so much and supported him so vocally, but in my heart I never thought we could win the big one with Norv. Norv’s a great coordinator but he lacks the direction required by a superior head coach.

I can’t remember another quarterback who was widely considered elite for a few years and now has really hit a slump.

I’m sure Chargers fans won’t though!
