The Arizona Cardinals fired offensive coordinator Mike McCoy on Friday following Thursday night's 45-10 loss to the Denver Broncos, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Quarterbacks coach Byron Leftwich will be named as McCoy's replacement, per The MMQB's Albert Breer.
NFL Media's Ian Rapoport first reported McCoy's job could be in jeopardy if the Cardinals, now 1-6, failed to show improvement in Week 7.
As it turns out, struggles persisted in a big way even though Arizona was in a prime bounce-back spot against a Broncos front that allowed 323 rushing yards to the New York Jets in Week 5 and 270 to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6.
