Cardinals fire offensive coordinator week before they face 49ers

The Arizona Cardinals have been a dumpster fire on offense, and we now have our second coordinator firing of the 2018 regular season. Four days after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired defensive coordinator Mike Smith, the Cardinals have fired offensive coordinator Mike McCoy. The Cardinals are promoting quarterbacks coach Byron Leftwich into the position.

The move is not surprising given how atrocious the Cardinals offense has been. Even having a rookie quarterback in Josh Rosen does not make up for the decision-making that has led to the third lowest scoring offense in the league, and the second least efficient offense.
