Bears coach John Fox throws support behind ex-assistant Mike McCoy
LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- San Diego Chargers head coach Mike McCoy is under intense scrutiny, but Chicago Bears coach John Fox still has faith in his former offensive coordinator.
“I think he’s done a tremendous job in San Diego,” Fox said this week.
There is plenty of history here. Fox and McCoy worked together for 10 seasons in Carolina and Denver before San Diego hired McCoy to succeed Norv Turner in 2013.
Mike McCoy and John Fox go back a long ways.McCoy actually predated Fox in Carolina. Before Fox took over with the Panthers in 2002, McCoy was a member of George Seifert's coaching staff for two years, serving as an offensive assistant (2000) and wide receivers coach (2001).
