Cardinals Hiring Mike McCoy As Offensive Coordinator

Ian Rapoport reports that the Cardinals are expected to hire Mike McCoy as their new offensive coordinator.

Rapoport adds the Arizona and McCoy are currently working out the details of an agreement.

The Cardinals also interviewed former Seahawks OC Darrell Bevell for the job and Eagles QBs coach John DeFilippo was mentioned as a possible candidate. However, it appears as though Steve Wilks ultimately settled on McCoy as the guy to run his offense.

McCoy, 45, began his NFL coaching career with the Panthers back in 2000 as their quarterbacks coach. He spent nine years in Carolina before departing to take the Broncos’ offensive coordinator position in 2009.

After four years of running the Broncos’ offense, the Chargers hired him as their head coach before firing him after the 2016 season. The Broncos hired him as offensive coordinator soon after but he was, unfortunately, fired a few weeks ago.

During his four years in San Diego, McCoy led the Chargers to a record of 27-36 (42.9 percent), which includes one playoff appearance and a playoff win.
