Mike McCoy enters his second season as the Broncos’ offensive coordinator in 2010 after being hired by the club on Jan. 20, 2009. A former quarterback who competed in Denver’s 1995 training camp as a rookie free agent, McCoy spent nine years (2000-08) coaching with the Carolina Panthers before joining the Broncos.

McCoy, who also coached the Broncos’ quarterbacks in 2009 in addition to his offensive coordinator responsibilities, worked in a variety of offensive capacities with the Panthers after beginning his coaching career with the club in 2000. He had stints as Carolina’s passing game coordinator (2007-08), quarterbacks coach (2002-08) and wide receivers coach (2001) while also handling offensive assistant duties (2000, ‘02) with the team.

For his NFL coaching career, McCoy has overseen five individual 3,000-yard passing seasons from his work with Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme (4) and Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton (1). He also has been involved with the coaching of three Pro Bowl selections, helping Delhomme (2005) along with Broncos tackle Ryan Clady (2009) and wide receiver Brandon Marshall (2009) earn NFL All-Star honors.

In his first year as Denver’s offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach in 2009, McCoy helped Orton reach career highs in every passing category while tying for fifth in the NFL and matching a club record with 10 90.0+passer rating games. Clady’s work at left tackle was recognized around the league with him earning the first Pro Bowl selection of his career and becoming only the fifth tackle since the 1970 league merger to be named a first-team Associated Press All-Pro by his second NFL season.

McCoy’s offense in 2009 featured another Pro Bowl pick in Marshall, who tied for third in the league with 101 receptions, including an NFL-record 21 in one game. Running back Knowshon Moreno also enjoyed a productive season, earning All-Rookie honors after becoming just the 14th player since the 1970 NFL merger to lead league rookies in rushing yards (947), yards from scrimmage (1,160) and total touchdowns (9).

The Panthers totaled three playoff appearances, two division titles, two NFC Championship Game appearances and a berth in Super Bowl XXXVIII (2003 season) during McCoy’s nine years on staff from 2000-08. Carolina tied for the second-best record in the NFC (T-7th in NFL) from 2003-08, posting a 56-40 (.583) mark with McCoy seeing an increased role in coaching its offense in that six-year period.

McCoy worked closely with Delhomme during six of his nine years coaching with the Panthers, helping the quarterback to his first career Pro Bowl selection (2005) and four 3,000-yard passing seasons (2003-05, ‘08).

As passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach with Carolina from 2007-08, McCoy’s passing offense averaged the seventh-most yards per completion (11.7) in the NFL during that time. Delhomme averaged the fifth-most yards per pass attempt (7.8) in the NFL during McCoy’s two seasons managing Carolina’s passing attack while wide receiver Steve Smith enjoyed similar success, ranking seventh in the league in receiving yards (2,423) over that period.

In 2008, McCoy’s instruction helped Delhomme rank fourth in the NFL in yards per pass attempt (7.9) and register his fourth career 3,000-yard passing effort (3,288). His passing offense featured a 1,421-yard receiving output from Smith that was the third best in the league and resulted in the wide receiver earning a Pro Bowl berth. The Panthers’ 12-4 regular-season record tied for the best mark by the club in franchise history and resulted in the team earning a first round playoff bye.

Injuries forced the Panthers to start four different quarterbacks (none for more than three games in a row) in 2007, but McCoy’s group of passers answered the challenge. Carolina became the first NFL team in 10 years to win at least one game with four different starters at quarterback (Delhomme, David Carr, Matt Moore and Vinny Testaverde).

McCoy’s instruction in 2007 prepared Moore, a rookie college free agent, to start the Panthers’ final three games and post victories in two of those three contests.

From 2002-06, McCoy served as the Panthers’ quarterbacks coach and also handled offensive assistant duties for the club during the first year of that period. His teaching helped Delhomme total 89 touchdown passes from 2003-06 that represented the fifth-highest total in the NFL.

In 2006, Delhomme registered a career-high 61.0 completion percentage with McCoy’s instruction helping him post a 1.55 touchdown-to-interception ratio (17-11) that was the 10th best in the league. The Panthers had an 11-5 record and advanced to the NFC Championship Game in 2005, and McCoy’s efforts with Delhomme helped the quarterback tie for fourth in the league with 24 touchdown passes and earn his first career Pro Bowl selection.

Delhomme enjoyed a career-year under McCoy in 2004, registering personal bests in passing yards (3,886) and touchdown passes (29) that both marked the second-best season totals in Panthers annals. Delhomme’s 1.93 touchdown-to-interception ratio (29-15) also ranked fifth in the NFL for the season.

McCoy helped the Panthers to an NFC South title and their first-ever Super Bowl berth (XXXVIII) during the 2003 season. Delhomme, in his first year as an NFL starter, registered a league-high seven fourth-quarter comeback drives that season.

Carolina named McCoy its wide receivers coach in 2001, and he oversaw the development of Smith during his rookie campaign. Wide receivers Mushin Muhammad and Donald Hayes each recorded more than 50 catches and 500 receiving yards under McCoy’s instruction that year.

McCoy’s coaching career began with Carolina as its offensive assistant in 2000, and he was thrust into the quarterbacks coaching role four weeks into the season. He worked closely with veteran Steve Beuerlein, helping him total 3,730 passing yards that ranked seventh in the NFL.

A quarterback in college, McCoy spent his first two seasons playing for Long Beach State University from 1990-91 under legendary Head Coach George Allen before transferring to the University of Utah for his final two years. His collegiate career ended in dramatic fashion in 1994 when he threw a game-winning, 5-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Kevin Dyson in the final minute to give Utah a 16-13 win against Arizona in the Freedom Bowl.

The Broncos signed McCoy as a college free agent in 1995, and he spent the regular season as a rookie on Green Bay’s practice squad. He saw his first professional playing time with NFL Europe’s Amsterdam Admirals in 1997 and spent one game on San Francisco’s roster as its third quarterback that year. McCoy competed in training camp with Philadelphia in 1998 before concluding his playing career with the Canadian Football League’s Calgary Stampeders in 1999.

McCoy was born on April 1, 1972, in San Francisco. He and his wife, Kellie, have one daughter (Olivia) and one son (Luke).

That's what came to mind for me. But at the same time, it's not like he was given much talent to work with.

Tebow and Orton both improved considerably under his watch. The question is, how much of that was McDaniels and how much was McCoy.

I don't know that Orton improved a lot.

I thought he was showing something in his last half season in Chicago, and that McDumbass simply aired it out a lot which lead to big numbers.

And TeBow looked a lot like Tebow, with terrible mechanics and that long elongated release.

But that is just one year of working on that, and it will take years to fix that, so I won't blame anyone for his lack of improvement.

Chiefs Offense-TM-Chiefs Jan. 9 - 10:07 pm et

The Chiefs are strongly considering Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy as the replacement for Charlie Weis, sources tell ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
Weis has already signed on to be the offensive coordinator for the Florida Gators. McCoy, 38, broke into the league with the Panthers back in 2000. He signed on with Denver as the offensive coordinator in 2009, but only began calling the plays after Josh McDaniels was fired following Week 13. McDaniels would be a more exciting hire for the Chiefs' offense.

I honestly don't know anything about McCoy. He was our QB coach in 09 but McDaniels spent more time with the QB's than any other position. In 2010 he was our OC and McDaniels called all the plays. After McDaniels was fired, McCoy only called screens, runs, and play action passes.

I don't know. I don't think it's that bad. He knows the system well, having run McDaniels' system for 2 years. He's young and wouldn't mind sharing playcalling duties with Haley.

Given what we know about Haley, this seems like a pretty decent fit. I understand where they're coming from on this.

Some had linked McDaniels to the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive coordinator opening with Charlie Weis going to the University of Florida, but that isn't very likely now. Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy is the favorite to replace Weis. McCoy was considered for the position last year before Weis was hired following his firing from Notre Dame.

The thing is, McCoy now has a couple of years in preparing an offense, and game planning, something Siriani lacks at this time.

He also is still young, and has worked under a HC that he deferred to on playcalling, so it shouldn't be an issue between he and Haley.

It really, upon further thought, is a perfect marriage.

Haley has an OC that can handle the everyday responsibilities of an OC, and they can work together on the final touches of plannning and playcalling.

This guy gets the opportunity to continue to grow, and Haley is still able to focus on the overall big picture.

Promote Sirianni to QB coach and groom him to replace MCoy when the time comes.

» The Bengals have not let linebackers coach Jeff FitzGerald go. He's been given permission to look for other opportunities.

http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Anderson-looking-at-his-own-Senior-Bowl/98c44321-f7e2-4db4-bd50-deabb75edab3

Only reason that is somewhat Chiefs related is that the Bengals DC Mike Zimmer has a son on KC's Staff that came aboard last year, Adam Zimmer the Asst. LB coach. He previously worked for Gary Gibbs in NO when both were there and stuck around there during their SB season. Wouldn't be suprised to see Zimmer go coach LB's under Marvin Lewis and his dad.

Fitzgerald would actually be a good replacement for Adam Zimmer if he leaves. He is a well respected former Ravens coach who runs the LB drills at the combine every year.

Tennessee Titans offensive line coach Mike Munchak and defensive line coach Jim Washburn could leave during the offseason because the team could only offer them one-year contract extensions, reports Paul Kuharsky, of ESPN.com. Neither has a contract and may want to look for a more stable job.

Mon, 10 Jan 2011 10:22:07 -0800

The Jacksonville Jaguars will allow assistant coaches to talk with other teams about coaching opportunities because they are entering the final year of their contracts, reports Paul Kuharsky, of ESPN.com.

I suppose this is about the CBA/Lockout but could also be both Del Rio and Fischer would be fired if the owners didn't want to pay them not to coach and risk paying a coach if there is a shortened season. Jags DC Mel Tucker was Romeo's DC in Cleveland and i could see him possibly wanting to get him on staff as a position coach. But their owner stipped Del Rio of calling the D so maybe Tucker they wouldn't let talk.

After thinking about it after I shut down last night, I reached the same conclusion.

He ould be a good fit.



The thing is, McCoy now has a couple of years in preparing an offense, and game planning, something Siriani lacks at this time.

He also is still young, and has worked under a HC that he deferred to on playcalling, so it shouldn't be an issue between he and Haley.

It really, upon further thought, is a perfect marriage.

Haley has an OC that can handle the everyday responsibilities of an OC, and they can work together on the final touches of plannning and playcalling.

This guy gets the opportunity to continue to grow, and Haley is still able to focus on the overall big picture.

Promote Sirianni to QB coach and groom him to replace MCoy when the time comes.

I agree. I think McCoy would be a good fit for the staff. Along the same lines of why i thought Brian Daboll or Jeff Davidson and Judd Chyzinski would be possible choices but i like that McCoy has the qb/passing game background and agree with the move if that's the one they make

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81da5adb/article/report-dolphins-interview-browns-daboll-for-oc-vacancy?module=HP_headlines


Add Brian Daboll to the list of candidates for the Miami Dolphins' offensive coordinator opening.

Daboll interviewed Wednesday with the Dolphins, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported, citing a league source.

Dallas Cowboys tight ends coach John Garrett also interviewed Wednesday with the Dolphins, a league source told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora.

The other candidates for the job, left vacant by Dan Henning's retirement, are San Diego Chargers tight ends coach Rob Chudzinski, who also is a candidate for the Carolina Panthers' offensive coordinator vacancy, and former Cleveland Browns coach Chris Palmer, Dolphins coach Tony Sparano's mentor.

Palmer, who brought Sparano into coaching at the University of New Haven in the 1980s and into the NFL as the Browns' quality-control coach in 1999, currently is coach of the United Football League's Hartford Colonials. He was the Houston Texans' offensive coordinator from 2002 to 2005.

Daboll has been the Browns' offensive coordinator for two seasons after stints on the New England Patriots' and New York Jets' staffs. But Browns coach Eric Mangini was dismissed Jan. 3, and St. Louis Rams offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur is expected to be announced as the replacement Thursday, La Canfora reported

=======================================================



Hadn't thought of Palmer. He worked with Haley in Dallas in '06. From the above article he has much more of a history with Sparano though.

Jason's Brother, John Garrett, I didn't know his background and assumed he was TE's Coach in Dallas largely due to his brother. But he was coaching when Jason was playing and is an interesting candidate i haven't heard mentioned anywhere until this Miami interview came up.

Based on the systems both could be considered under Haley.

The Broncos are expected to retain offensive coordinator Mike McCoy under Fox. McCoy previously worked with Fox for seven seasons in Carolina.

John Fox has long history with Broncos coordinator Mike McCoy
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on January 13, 2011, 5:08 PM EST
I’m cautiously optimistic that John Fox was a smart hire for the Denver Broncos considering the circumstances. The move will make even more sense if Fox winds up retaining Mike McCoy as the team’s offensive coordinator.

McCoy worked under Fox for seven seasons in Carolina as his quarterbacks coach and then passing game coordinator. McCoy remains under contract in Denver as offensive coordinator. By keeping McCoy, Fox could provide continuity to an offense that did plenty of good things the last two years. Installing a new offense could be difficult, especially if there is a long work stoppage.

The Chiefs were expected to make a run at McCoy for their offensive coordinator job, with a few writers believing he was the favorite to get the job. Perhaps Fox will want McCoy to stay.

Fox hasn’t consistently shown he’s a difference-making head coach; his Panthers teams were over .500 three times in his nine seasons. But he makes more sense in Denver than their other candidates for three reasons.

1. He’s experienced. The combination of John Elway and G.M. Brian Xanders could use someone that’s been around the league a few times.

2. Fox has shown he can turn around a terrible situation quickly. He took over a 1-15 Panthers team and they improved to seven wins, and then made the Super Bowl the following year.

3. Most importantly, Fox can address the team’s defense. Denver’s other finalists were offensive minded. Offense hasn’t been the problem in Denver under Mike Shanahan and Josh McDaniels, but this is an organization that has been clueless about building a quality defense.

If Fox keeps McCoy, perhaps the Broncos can have the best of both worlds.

Browns Offense-TM-Browns Jan. 14 - 9:42 am et

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot, Broncos OC Mike McCoy is a candidate for the same position on Pat Shurmur's new staff.
McCoy has also been connected to Todd Haley and the Chiefs. He's in high demand, so the Broncos may be willing to sweeten the pot to get him to stay with John Fox in Denver. It's worth noting that Fox, McCoy, and the entire Browns brass all share Bob LaMonte as an agent.

My hope is they brought Fox in to help get the focus back to a sound rushing attack and then primarily defense. McCoy is familiar with the offense that Fox runs and he is very familiar with Tebow and the rest... continuity is good and in this case, McCoy has that with both the existing players and the new HC.

Wrong offense.

Haley runs the Erhardt-Perkins offense. Chilly runs the WCO he learned from Andy Reid, who learned it from Holmgren, who learned it from Bill Walsh, who learned it from Paul Brown.

There may be someone on the Patriots staff that could be the new OC but I'll be surprised if Haley hires anyone.

I think Sirianni will likely be named the QB coach and Haley will run the offense.

I hope I'm wrong about Haley.

Good question.

I think it depends on Pioli: How much rope does he give Haley to hang himself?

If Pioli allows Haley to act as his own OC and he's a flop, then Pioli shares a portion of the blame. If Pioli allows Haley to act as his own OC but with the caveat that he must have a Top Ten (or whatever) offense and he fails, he's probably gone.

I think it all depends on Pioli & Haley's relationship, of which has always been in question due to their "secretive" nature.

Personally, I think Haley is best served by hiring an offensive coordinator that doesn't have any issues with Haley calling the plays. I think any other way will be disaster.

I mean Haley can't run the offense and "apparently" can't get along with someone else running it. It only leaves 2 choices if we want to be successful.

1. Pioli tells haley to STFU when it comes to the offense and to let the OC do his job

2. fire Haley

Yeah, that is what the new OC should be centered around. QB play and development. I think Haley should take his time with Sirianni and bump him up to QB's coach first. Or WR coach. He did that in the past in college. And i could see Parmelee either joining Weis at Florida or going elsewhere assuming he was only brought in because of Weis. That would leave the door open to move Richie Anderson to TE coach and Sirianni to WR coach. It would develop him in more aspects of the passing game since he has assisted with much of the qb coaching duties his first 2 seasons.

I'd like to see them add Tom Cable to coach the OL. Maybe Run game CO to depending on how they structure it. Actually after hearing Oakland wasn't going to bring him back he said he was fine with coaching OL somewhere and that he knew he could do a good job at that.

I keep bringing him up because i think he and Haley like eachother and would be a good fit. Each time we played oakland haley has been complememtary twards cable and this year i caught part of a Cable presser telling how he was telling the players to just get a little bit better each day, something Haley said at just about every presser. They aren't the only coaches to use that verbage of course but i can't explain it i just get a feeling Haley would like to hire Cable. Maybe i just have gas.

Wearing two hats brings more attention and responsibility to Haley.
He can extend his Chiefs tenure if he has an OC (with autonomy) who he can blame our offensive woes on.

Trying to do this all by himself puts a huge bullseye on his own back.

Hire a guy who has a similar offensive philosophy and let him do his job.
Coach the whole team...Or step down and be an Offensive Coordinator elsewhere.

McD is overqualified to be Haley's understudy. He wouldn't want or need any input from Haley on creating a gameplan/calling plays. It would not work and I'm sure Haley would probably kick his ass at some point during the season if they worked together.

Brian Daboll-interviewed in Miami, was wr coach with pats cassel's first 2 yrs
Jeff Davidson-former pats TE coach knows Weis system Fox's Carolina OC
Greg Olson-under contract as Bucs OC but still speculated on by Teicher. Highly doubful he could get out of his contract even if he wanted but the Bucs did lose their sp.teams coach to a lateral move to SD.
Mike McCoy-apparently has options of OC in KC, Denver, and Cleveland
Jud Chizinski-Interviewed w/Miami and probably top choice of Rivera in Carolina
Tom Cable-would possibly fit in as run game CO/OL if Muir retires.
Childress-not a fit in KC, no way
Chris Palmer-UFL HC of Hartford. A mentor to Sparano and has interviewed in Miami. Makes the most sense for those 2 to pair up but He might be a possibility in KC.
John Garrett- Dallas TE coach and Jason Garrett's brother. Just missed coaching w/ Haley in Dallas but coached at Virginia under Al Groh and the Dolphins with Saban who both of those coaches have ties to Pioli.

Although he said he would like to retain offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, new Broncos head coach John Fox admitted on Friday that McCoy has "options" and isn't a slam-dunk to be back in Denver in 2011.
One of those "options" is widely believed to be Cleveland, where McCoy would work under new head coach Pat Shurmur. Although an intriguing possibility (McCoy, Shurmur and Browns president Mike Holmgren are all represented by the same agent), it sounds less likely after Shurmur said at his introductory press conference on Friday that he is planning on calling plays in 2011. Odds are, if Fox really wants McCoy back in Denver in 2011, that's where he will be.

Morris and Dominick's options have been picked up since.

I think they've only got another month or so to decide on the rest of the staff. Otherwise, once the option expires, they're free to go elsewhere.

when this olson thing came out about being a candidate i was searching for the PFT story and looked at others on the net. Just kept getting Dominik denying anyone was leaving, which he pretty much has to. Really confusing.

As for McCoy he has to choose to stay in Denver where Fox when both were in Carolina, Fox chose Davidson over him but he would have plenty of familiarity with Fox as well. Cleveland is a different offense and he won't call plays atleast the first season as Shurmur has said he intends to. And he will have Haley looking over his shoulder to some degree but running a similar offense to denver.

Pretty good spot for him. He's only called plays for 3 games and he's got 3 teams to get himself a good contract and the right situation.

He makes a ton of sense. Started in AZ same year as Haley. Pittsburgh native and surely knows both Todd and Dick Haley for years. Roughly the same age as Todd.

Haley wouldn't do anything to piss off Whizenhunt though. Depends on how involved Miller really is. If he is considered the all around OC and play caller in the future then i'm sure Haley wouldn't go that route. That's all with my assumption that Whisenhunt does most if not all of the play calling since Haley left. Also Russ Grimm was a hot candidate back to when he almost got the steelers job instead of Tomlin but he didn't even get an interview this year. Maybe if he can talk Whisenhunt into letting him take over OC duties and call a few plays that will get his name back on the A list. And at the same time open the door for Miller to KC. But it has to make sense on a competitive level of course. HC's don't want to lose their jobs just doing a favor for friends on their staff.

He talked about in training camp one of the good things about having charlie as OC was him being able to spend more time with Romeo and actually learn the D. Something that will help him become a more complete HC.

Somebody like Whitlock comes along and says Haley is trying to immitate Parcells. And he's right. Whitlock says it like it's a negative or slams him for it. But that is the HC he spent the most time with and chose to emulate.

Like DV said while bawling at the PC to announce robinson's 'resignation' , DV said i wish i was a Parcells or Belichic and be able to help Greg with the Defense but i'm not like those guys. Both of those guys actually had times in their careers where they were heavily involved with and even called plays on offense while being Defensive coaches.

I think Haley, judging by his pressers, truly wants to shoot for the sky and be a complete HC in that way.

Sounds corny but that's just the way i see it.

He will learn the 4-3 that Spags runs and learned from the late Jim Johnson. With that and the 3-4 from his pats days that broadens his education and expands his opportunities for any potential openings he might have in the future.

On the other hand the cover 2 that Frazier runs in Minny isn't complicated and some teams don't run it as much as they used to. Plus the young qb in STL helps matters.

I was just shooting from the hip initially, trying to remember things that I hadn't really thought about or looked at in some time.

Caserio was the WR coach in '07 for the Pats.

I was simply pointing out what he has been doing since he was named to the position of Director of Player Development.

Martz syndrome.

Let Romeo have full control of the defense and handle the offense if he can't get a coordinator he's comfortable with.

It's not a question of whether he can handle calling plays.

It's a question of finding someone who can spend the time to at least get a blueprint together to game plan for each opponent.

Right now, the Chiefs have one of the smallest staffs in the NFL, and Haley has a lot on his plate.

Bring in a guy that can help to creat the game plan and Haley can call the plays on Sundays.

I can see that. LaMonte is Weis's agent too. He probably fed that right to Babb himself to drive up interest. Not that i don't believe Babb doesn't have sources, it was just strange all of the sudden he had McCoy's name and was pretty sure on it that if he wanted the KC OC job it was his for the taking. The only other local mentioning names is Teicher with Greg Olson and he has mentioned him every time there has been an open spot to call plays, even since Haley's hiring.

With the way they keep things so tightly under wraps we probably won't find out until the presser to announce it or shortly before.
