How important was Mike McCoy

Recommended Posts

Delhomme was an undrafted QB and in his second year as a Panther, was in the SB. Under McCoy, he and Smith had some of the best stats of any QB/receiver combination for a couple of years. When Smith was out on IR, he and Moose were one of the best QB/receiver combos in the NFL. Delhomme also had one of the highest post-season QB ratings for the 2003-2005 seasons. And in McCoys last year with the Panthers, they went 12-4. Since leaving to join the Broncos, the Panthers are 8-12.

Not all the credit for the wins is McCoys nor are all the losses - but still. Look at what is happening in Denver now.

As of today, Orton has the second most passing yards through four weeks in NFL history! In addition, he's completing around 67% of his passes with a 96 QB rating.

Now I know McCoy doesn't call the plays in Denver but still, you can't ignore the success Delhomme and Orton have had while playing for him.

Someone speculated he might be Fox's replacement. Given his production, I might just be fine with that.

What do you think?

hmm. Interesting.

I wouldn't be astonished if he was Fox's replacement now that you mention it. However, I think people were kinda glad he was gone when he left around here. Doesn't mean much since I think this board celebrates every departure like it will fix the franchise forever.

If he can tap into Clausen's potential, I'm all for it.

And why do you think that?

regarding QB coaching, he spent most of his time trying to be Jake's friend instead of coaching. He had no prior experience coaching before coming here, he only got hired in Den because he knew the same offense. He was OC without the playcalling, and QBs coach - now he's not QBs coach anymore, McDaniel's little brother is. Ben McDaniels was such a hot commodity, they stole him from...

...no one. He coached two years for UMinn and then nobody until now. So, McCoy was doing such a great job, he got replaced by nepotism.

I'm not saying the guy is a total abortion, but people only defend him now because they know him. He does very little good from all I can tell.

And, before we go all crazy saying he was better than Scherer,

So, meanwhile, what suggests he can run an NFL team? Being McDaniels' lacky?

I won't pretend to know what goes on at camp or in practice but even if he did, so what? The results speak for themselves and jake did have success while he was here.

So what? Wouldn't you say every coach at one time didn't have any experience and yet was still hired. I would think a coaches results would matter more than their prior experience when gauging them for a promotion.

Nepotism is the key word isn't it? I'm not sure you can use that as a knock on his performance.

I'm not sure what you are talking about here as I haven't read anything concerning McCoy on this board.

2008. Detractors of Scherer say he screwed Jake up, but Jake was garbage in 2008. He earned the trust of some QBs and that's great, but evidence suggests he just didn't coach guys up that much.

And yes, you want your head coach to "coach". It's not "head friend."

sure, every coach. From Rich Kotite to Bill Walsh. The guy lucked into a cherry job here and then lucked into being a guy available under the same offense. Great for him, but I haven't seen evidence he did anything to be worth running our own team. So, did you?

Ben could've been an offensive QA guy or a tape guy. He could be a ball boy for his experience. McCoy's actual duties were lessened. McDaniels himself does most of the work, which IMO is ill-advised.

    • Happy Thanksgiving y’all. Thankful for a very good team and for this group to talk canes.  Eat drink celebrate our win bs the rags. This team is cup ready. 
    • I don't think should be seen as an insult, legitimately. Teddy's floor was consistently a good game manager to his ceiling of border-line top 10 QB who's arm strength didn't blow you away but could make all the throws and generally made good decisions and had some sneaky athleticism.  Teddy started on quite a few teams. He had a good start to his career, had a horrific injury that could have ended his career, came back and played himself into being a starter, got a contract here (and subsequently became another victim of Tepper's impetuousness), and then started games for a few other teams. Teddy could have been a franchise QB had he not suffered a freak injury, and then he just never ended up in another stable situation. He still had a good NFL career that could have been great without that injury. Teddy before that injury did look like a franchise QB, and I dont think that's a bad comp for Young nor an insult in terms of what his career could be based on that comparison.
    • Absolutely the wrong take. We have to run and gun. We have zero post presence. We just have to make shots. We just can't hit water from a boat tonight and we're turning it over to boot. Then you have a poor shooting opponent shooting lights out.  Looks like a long season ahead of us though if Hubert doesn't adapt to this roster. We have to play a pressure trapping D and get out in transition because we aren't beating anyone in the half court.
