"It's as if Mike McCoy never left.

Broncos offensive coordinator is what he is, and what he shall be. And this is what McCoy must do in 2012: Throw the ball on first down!

The Miami Dolphins missed out. McCoy, in my view, has a chance to become a better head coach than offensive coordinator.

His serious, all-business, demeanor is more presidential (Obama, Reagan) than lowbrow vice presidential (Biden, Quayle).

Head coaches must have some top-office politician in them. They represent not only their franchise, but their city. One reason why Josh McDaniels failed here is he wasn't presidential enough.

McCoy, if he does get the chance one day, would be an ideal face of a franchise.

Coordinators are vice presidents to the head coach. As such, they have the freedom to become creative on their side of the ball. If the flea-flicker blows up? That's the defensive coordinator's problem."
