ENGLEWOOD, Colo. --Mike McCoy fits Vance Joseph's desire to meld the scheme to his players' talents because he's spent much of his entire career learning how to do precisely that.
Whether he called plays on a full-time basis -- as he did in Denver from late in the 2010 season through the 2012 campaign -- or just had occasional contributions while working primarily with the quarterbacks and the passing game at large, McCoy has built a successful career on his intricate knowledge of a variety of schemes. Few coaches possess his breadth of experience, from the West Coast offense used in Carolina in 2000 and 2001, to a Dan Henning offense that traced its lineage to Don Coryell, to the Panthers' and Broncos' schemes that used the nomenclature favored by the New England Patriots.
