Sounds like McCoy is probably the guy

Oh, definitely. But I'm not going to cry about the sky falling because of this hire. I think the guy at least deserves a chance to fall on his face, first.

First off, Moss hasn't received one either!! Secondly, maybe he wants a defensive minded coach? He also interviewed Bowles.
Exactly. Chuck Pagano, too.

And best of all - a Dan Henning protege! :crazy:
Haven't been following this closely but McCoy is easily my top choice among the floated names. If not an established coach you want a young guy, a gamble on greatness, the smartest guy in the room type. I was blown away the first time I heard Sean Payton and Mike Tomlin interviewed, after they were hired. Both stood out as extra special. Miami should be replicating that mode. McCoy's name is easily the most astute from Ross this time. As George Young said of drafting Lawrence Taylor, my grandmother can pick Jim Harbaugh.
McCoy did a masterful job once Tebow had the reigns, boosting the number of rushing attempts to astronomical number by current NFL standards. As I've pointed out in previous years, 82-84% of NFL games are won by the team with highest number of rushes, even if the goofs at FootballOutsiders are in constant denial and no doubt were wobbly when Denver pulled out so many games with that approach.
A guy who is a year early is infinitely preferable to a slob hire like Mike Zimmer, a screamer type who would be 56 years old before coaching his first NFL game. The odds on hitting big with that type is next to nil. Zimmer defined himself during the Bobby Petrino situation, when he ranted and cursed like a bar stool conventional wisdom fool. He'd impress the drill sergeant crowd. Wonderful. I'm reminded of Frank Gore earlier this season, emphasizing that previous 49er coaches would have lit into the team at halftime while trailing big, like this season as halftime against the Eagles. Harbaugh calmly detailed how the 49ers were in perfect position to make adjustments and pull it out. You know what course Zimmer would take, his face like hot coal.
I'm always in favor of doing the right thing from a big picture standpoint, as opposed to minutiae regarding individual characteristics within the dilemma. If you hit big with a 39 year old it could define the franchise for a decade or more. Putting full faith in a 55 or 56 year old journeyman as first time head coach is like trading up for a frail bubble screen quarterback who rarely is asked to scan center field and who was rated a second round pick or lower to begin the season, despite starting from early in his freshman year. We can't be that dense again, like drafting a 5th year senior running back #2 and expecting him to live up to the status.

Man...you are the most negative fans ever.at LEAST give the guy a chance to fail...you don't have to have the top ranked offense or defense to be a head coach..maybe you would give him a second interview as well if you were Ross and Ireland.clearly he has a sort of vision that ownership is looking for..this isn't parcells guy..so let's at least see what happens and not jump the gun fellas

I'm not a big fan of this move if McCoy gets the job. I cannot believe he and Philbin are being called back while Zimmer is out of the running. That being said, I did not personally interview him and have no idea what he has in store for the team; evidently Ross and Ireland liked it enough to pass over Zimmer. Which is significant given that Ireland has a working history with Zimmer. So, if he's hired, I say lets give him the benefit of the doubt until he proves us wrong.

I believe what he did with Orton and Marshall a few yrs ago should represent his talents. For being so young hes been coaching for 12 yrs.
During his NFL coaching career, McCoy has overseen six individual 3,000-yard passing seasons from his work with Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme (4) and Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton (2). He also has been involved with the coaching of four Pro Bowl selections, helping Delhomme (2005) along with Broncos tackle Ryan Clady (2009) and wide receivers Brandon Marshall (2009) and Brandon Lloyd (2010) earn NFL All-Star honors.
This hire would be interview over resume. Which I like, though I do think McCoy's resume is impressive when looked at closely. When we hired Cam over Tomlin it had to be resume over interview. Since I can't imagine any sane person would choose him over Tomlin on personality.
