Mike McCoy has been fired

I'm fine with keeping the hobbit. I know that's not a popular opinion but I think he did a pretty good job given the enormous number of problems this year. He had to work with 4 different QBs, one not even going to training camp. He had games where his no. 1-3 WRs were all out. His line was in constant flux and with the exception of a few games they still performed pretty well. All this in his first year as an OC.

Despite all this our offense was middle of the league. The "lack" of run/ pass balance was likely due heavily to the fact we were usually behind early and we had to pass to stay in it.

I'm not saying he's a genius or anything but I wouldn't mind seeing another year with him if no other obvious candidates are available.

This is true as well. Rod Marinelli was an awful HC and Wade Phillips wasn't much better but they are two premier defensive coordinators. Some coaches just can't handle the overall challenges of a HC.

Speaking of Wade Phillips with Kubiak stepping down and a new HC coming in it's possible hat old Wade will be looking for work as well and he is a fine DC if things don't go well here with the current situation.

FWIW McCoy will be on quite a few teams lists.  Despite his issues in SD he still has the rep of being an excellent OC and they are a bit scarce out there now with many teams looking for one.  So he's no look to come here even of we are interested in him.
