Denver Broncos Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy To Stay With Broncos

for continuity’s sake and for Tebow’s development. Im willing to give McCoy a pass for last season, since it was his first real season calling plays. As bad as a micromanager as McD was, Im fairly confident 09 and 10 was mostly McD’s playcalls, not McC’s

and I hope that he stays along with Allen. I just like most people out there would get frustrated with his play calling, but as a coach myself, albeit the high school level, I understand that there is in fact a reason and game plan for everything. They were doing what they were doing for reasons that they felt were best for the team.

I think this is a good thing for our players and organization. It’s good to have assistants as candidates for head coaching positions because that means they doing a good job.

He created an entirely new offense halfway through the year and won seen games with it. Add that to the fact that he only has a season and 4 games of calling plays, it will get better with an entire offseason. I don’t understand the love for allen but hate for McCoy, in scoring, the offense was 25th and the defense was 24th, not a huge difference. As I said McCoy only has had 4 more games of calling plays than Allen does. I think both of them have good futures, but this year coming up is big for the entire offense as everyone needs to be good and that starts with the coaching staff.

All I can say, even as a fan of rip scherer, there was no evidence that the offense would be better with another year of new playcalling, look what happened to Bradford after his favorite coach and playcaller left.

McCoy and Tebow need to spend the offseason TRUSTING each other. McCoy needs to trust that Tebow will deliver the ball in a timely manner. Tebow needs to trust McCoy will call plays to win the game…not just the first 3 quarters. Mix it up next year and pass the ball on 1st down from time to time.

Hopefully Allen doesn’t get the Oakland job. That would be worse then lossing McCoy.

GO BRONCOS!!! AFC WEST CHAMPIONS…until we aren’t!!!

REAL need is a QB coach.

Every one of his teams have had the same style. I think next year will be a much better indicator of the kind offense McCoy likes to run. I’m glad he’s staying.

He’s got room to improve as a playcaller, but at least the system, terminology, and what was set as a foundation in 2011 can now be built upon.

He also has a chance to prove that he was scaling things back for Tebow this past season, in order to help minimize his mistakes. Little by little, he needs to open things up, not to mention mix up his plays to make the offense much less predictable.

If he doesn’t take a step forward and the offense regresses, 2012 will be his last year in Denver.

We can knock his playcalling all we want, but there were a ton of open guys this season that Tim never saw or hit…

to how much he sucks everyday? That and how much of a genious he is?

For him it might be a blessing in disguise——the dolphins are a mickey mouse organization with a complete tool as an owner, the guy has no idea what the hell he’s doing.

For everyone that’s been on McCoy’s ass for everything, I say this. The guy is a good teacher and influence for Tebow. If you’ve seen some of the footage when Tebow is mic-ed up for sound, there has been clips of he and McCoy on the sidelines looking at pictures and talking together. McCoy constantly helps Tebow with where his reads are and gives him advice of what to do IF.

Personally, I say if we cut Tim a break and allow him an offseason to improve then we should do the same for McCoy.

One final thought. Conservativism in playcalling has been a result and direct impact of what players we have on offense and their lack of experience——period. Even with Fox’s “conservative approach” with Orton and Lloyd starting, the pass to run ratio was much more in favor of the pass——I’ll probably do a post on this here soon. So really what we are talking about is coaches trying to put their players in the best positions to learn and be successful——-NOT TRYING TO HINDER OR UNDERMINE THEM.

If Tebow and our receivers were further along then they were I’m pretty sure the playcalling would have been a little bit different.

Patience folks, McCoy staying here is a good thing. We need Tebow and our offense to have consistency with the people around them. We’ve already seen defensively what happens when you have a different coordinator every year.

Continuity. Best thing for Tebow is to minimize the change. Let him become familiar with everything. I’m fine with it.

And remember a couple of things that have been repeatedly stated above:

1)McCoy is not a genius, neither is he a complete failure

2)McCoy was technically only in his first full season of directing the offense — according to most accounts, McDaniels was in charge of play-calling while he was here.

3)The Broncos made a radical change to the offense after game 5.

4)Our offensive starters, beginning in game 6, were very young:
4a)our offensive line had a combined 141 starts going into 2011
4b)45% of those starts were by Kuper, 34% were by Clady, the remaining three players — Walton, Beadles & Franklin had 21% of the starts, or if you prefer exactly 30 with Franklin having 0 NFL starts to begin the season.
4c)Our two main WR — Decker & Thomas entered 2011 with a combined 2 NFL starts.
4d)Our QB had 3 NFL starts.
4e)McGahee was the old man of the group with 66 starts.

5)Now, unless something very unexpected happens, our OC, and our offense will have an entire off season to install whatever offense they are planning to run.

Personally, I would love to see a hybrid read-option offense. One in which you never know if the QB is going to hand the ball off, keep it & run, keep & pitch out, or keep it & throw.

I’m not saying I agree. I think many other coaches around the league would rather work with a prototypical QB.

Give McCoy credit for getting us to the playoffs, instead continuously banging his had against a wall trying to stick a square Tebow into round hole. Quit bitchin’, the guy is young and talented and will continue to improve, and so will Tebow. Last thing we need is a revolving door of OCs, with a young quarterback. If our O doesn’t improve next year, then by all means show him the door.

but have the Broncos said anything about retaining McCoy now that he didn’t get the Miami job? I haven’t seen anything, anywhere saying they have.
