I posed this question before, but if you fire Doug and put someone like McCoy in his place and he has success down the stretch which is entirely possible, are you ok with him being a serious candidate for the job moving forward?  It would be difficult for any owner to fire an interim coach at the end of the season that goes 5-1 or 6-0 over the stretch where they are the head coach.  I don't think most would be all that happy with McCoy, but maybe that sentiment changes if he indeed gets the opportunity and does go 5-1 or 6-0.

That's an interesting point and especially if you can't get the HC's your after and are scrambling. Just looking at the standings, 11 teams have 2-3 wins so far. That seems crazy high but just to show

Jets 3-6
Miami 2-6
Patriots 2-7
Browns 2-7
Jags 2-7
T*tans 2-7
Raiders 2-7
Cowboys 3-5
Giants 2-7
Panthers 2-7
Saints 2-7

There could be a lot of teams looking for new HC's this offseason then there's teams like the Bengals and Bears who are in the last chance saloon. I don't want McCoy and don't want to be in a spot where he may get the job by default. The way our luck is we'd probably fire Doug, not get our top 5 targets then rehire him a week later.

Message Board is devastated.

Find a way to beat Lions or Vikings and it would be 3 9-8 seasons in a row.

That's how fine the margins can be.
