McCoy was the head coach of the then San Diego Chargers from 2013 to 2016, and was the Denver Broncos' offense coordinator this past season. McCoy was fired in November and the Broncos finished the season tied for 17th in the NFL in offensive yards per game.

Rapoport also reported that the Cardinals will retain quarterbacks coach Byron Leftwich.
