Broncos fire offensive coordinator Mike McCoy

The Denver Broncos fired offensive coordinator Mike McCoy on Monday.

The move comes with the team mired in a six-game losing streak, its longest such skid in 27 years. During the string of losses, the Broncos have been outscored 185 to 85. The team ranks 24th in scoring after 10 weeks.

Quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave will take over the offense.

"After careful consideration, I've named Bill Musgrave our offensive coordinator for the rest of the season and made the difficult decision to part ways with Mike McCoy," head coach Vance Joseph said in a release.

"I have a responsibility to do what's best for our football team. Although this wasn't an easy decision, we needed to make this change. We have to play a more efficient brand of football offensively as we begin the final stretch of our season."

As a first-year head coach, Joseph tabbed McCoy as his offensive coordinator, a job McCoy held in Denver from 2009-12. His second stint would last just 10 games, however, as the offense failed to move, whether Trevor Siemian or Brock Osweiler was at the controls.

"I'm disappointed that things didn't work out because this is a special organization and a great place to be," McCoy said.

Siemian was benched after he committed 12 turnovers in seven games, and Osweiler has added five turnovers in his three starts.

After a 3-1 start to the season, the Broncos sit dead last in the AFC West and second-to-last in the AFC with a 3-7 record.
