McCoy wasn't a great head coach, but he was a competent OC and knows how to keep a team chugging along through the end of the season. He's just a temporary figure head to stand on the sidelines and call some random times outs. Thats it. 

Like I said, a mid-season change isn't turning this thing around. That's also why I don't support making a change. It won't do any good. And it could do worse. Khan can go ahead and get to work in finding a new GM and coach, even with these guys still on the payroll. Start compiling short lists of potential candidates. Once the week 18 game is over, get the ball rolling.

I get you and that's why I am usually against mid season firings. No way can anyone come in and make significant changes to schemes or the roster but I'm worried by the lack of fight and effort from these players. We've seen it before with Jags team where that losing mentality settles in and as soon as we fall behind games are over. Sadly I don't see anyone on the staff who can fire this team up but we're saying performances like this from us way too much.

This roster is not bad, we have so much talent on the O but it just isn't working right now.

Right. 100% agree. And that's why change needs to happen. But that attitude isn't getting fixed mid-season. They showed last week that they were still fighting. They've continued to fight today. The play-calling in the second quarter was horrific, and I think that series of offensive play calls is what set this team off today. It was that bad. They had 6 offensive plays in the second quarter, none went over 5 yards. That completely detailed the whole team.

And there is no change that can happen mid-season that fixes that. A coaching change now will come with a continuation of the playbook and schemes the players already know. The interim coach will be somebody already on the team.
