Billick said he wants the job
No one knew who John Harbaugh was either when they hired him up in Balt. After reading up about McCoy he intrigued me to the point where I thought he'd make a good HC and watching his interviews he doesn't sound stupid. Plus he's really young, I sure hope they do hire him I think he will surprise a lot of people.

This trying to hire the youngest coaches has no real rationale at all. Do you really think NFl players play harder for a younger guy than an older guy. Im pretty sure most of the guys interviewing are smart guys, hell if we want smart lets hire Clements who is also a lawyer but this is a job as football coach and there is a learning curve and jobs should not be given out just because some people equate young and with being hungry . I wouldnt doubt that Ross will hire MCCoy and sell us some bill of goods of how he is this young exciting coach that has so much potential but as an Oc in reality it was a 23 rd ranked offense and I very much doubt anybody would even rank MCcoy as one of the best 10 coordinators in the league. When people think of the statement young shula most dont know that he was a defensive coordinator for a very good Detroit defense not some coordinator of some back of the league offense that mustered 10 points versus the 31st ranked defense.
here's the thing though, I'm really curious to see what kind of staff he'd put together. Philbin I look at and say he's been with the entire offensive staff in Green Bay since 06 so all their offensive assistants would be in play. Namely Tom Clements, Edgar Bennent, and Jerry Fontenot. Defensively, you got Darren Perry, Kevin Greene, Mike Trgovac, and Joe Witt Jr as DC candidates.
McCoy? I can't really say. I guess Adam Gase would be a choice as they've been together for 3 years but otherwise I dunno

While I'm sure McCoy will take full responsibility (and he does deserve some criticism), it doesn't help to have your quarterback throw 34%. Or a 3.6 YPC average from your running backs.
They had clock control, but man if Tebow throws half-way decent, they might actually be in the game. The offense converted just 1 of 3 redzone tries.
Think if Tebow had the completion percentage of Matt Moore (about 60%) in that game. He would complete about 6-7 more passes for about 225 total yards (89 more based on his yards per completion). Not saying it would've made a difference, but you never know.
McCoy takes blame, but having Tebow as your quarterback doesn't help.

Could at least say Trgovac is an option given their time together in Carolina.
I like to think that mccoy would bring the bonus of not having cronyism. (sp)

Im pretty sure philben would put together the best staff of the three by far. If mccoy is hired Im pretty sure Bowles is gone because I think losing to Philben woulld be easier to understand although he may stay or leave no matter what. MCCoys biggest problem is he has only been a coordinator for two years so the people that have worked under him is quite limited. Philben has worked with alot of coaches in Green Bay and would definately bring an assistant or two from one of the best staffs in the league.
When talking McCoy don't ignore that he was a big part of the Panthers 10th ranked offense in 2008.
Also, what is this team's biggest need the past decade? A quarterback. McCoy is a former QB and has helped develop a few a the NFL level. Give him a young QB to work with, whether that is someone like Matt Flynn or going all in for RGIII, or drafting someone in the second round. McCoy could bomb, but he has the chance to be good.

In his time in the league what Qb has he developed? You could say he had some part in Moore's dvelopment but Moore was also quite horrid the previous year so I would not count Moore as much of a development until he shows he can play conssistently good.

Danger lurks below the surface!
I can understand the concerns with Philbin regarding his son. In reality, everyone grieves differently, no matter what the tragedy. For some, losing a child would devestate them, plunging them into a world of grief and pain. Others will try to move on with their lives (I've heard multiple people in similar situations confess they eventually realize that life doesn't stop just because they are hurting or have lost something great).
The ones that try to move on WILL still grieve, perhaps just not as openly as others. They will feel their pain, but also try to move on with their life WHILE coping with the pain. Some people just have the strength and ability to move beyond the grief and continue on with life as normal (despite crying/etc behind closed doors).
