Cardinals fire OC Mike McCoy after blowout loss to Broncos

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have fired offensive coordinator Mike McCoy a day after the team was blown out at home by the Denver Broncos on national television.

The team said in a statement Friday that quarterbacks coach Byron Leftwich will take over the job for a club that is 1-6, the worst record in the league.

Coach Steve Wilks is to discuss the move later in the day.

McCoy, former head coach of the San Diego Chargers, was fired for the second time in as many seasons. He was let go after 10 games as Broncos coordinator last year.
