Playing career
McCoy attended California State University, Long Beach, where he redshirted his first year after graduating from San Marin High School in Novato, California. McCoy played in eight games for the Long Beach State 49ers during his redshirt freshman season in 1991, five of whom were started five of them. He had 87 of 168 passes for 938 yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions. McCoy moved to the University of Utah after Long Beach State's football program was discontinued in December 1991. He spent his first season with the Utes mainly as the back-up to senior Frank Dolce. While Dolce was injured, he appeared in six games, beginning two games. He continued as the starter for the 1993 and 1994 seasons, with career averages at 7,404 yards passing, 49 TD, 23 Int., all at 64 percent, achieving 66.7 for a rating of 146.1.
His college career came to an end in 1994 when he threw a game-winning, 5-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Kevin Dyson in the final minute, giving Utah a 16–13 victory over Arizona in the Freedom Bowl. He led the Utes to a season that saw them finish ranked in the top ten national rankings for the first time.
McCoy was signed as a rookie free agent with the Denver Broncos in 1995 after being not selected in the 1995 NFL Draft, but was suspended during the preseason. Following injuries to Brett Favre and his backup Ty Detmer, the Green Bay Packers signed him to their practice squad in November of this year. McCoy has also played for the Amsterdam Admirals, San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Seattle Seahawks. McCoy was a member of the Calgary Stampeders for two years in the CFL, behind Dave Dickenson.
Coaching career
McCoy appeared on the Carolina Panthers' coaching staff from 2000 to 2008, playing in Super Bowl XXVIII with the Panthers.
Mike McCoy was hired to be the Denver Broncos' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach after the 2008 season. Kyle Orton, the then-Broncos' QB, had a fruitful year under McCoy, winning records in virtually every passing category. The Broncos' passing offense ranked seventh in the NFL last year, while Orton ranked fourth in the league in passing yards per game. In 2011, McCoy rebuilt the Broncos offense to match Tim Tebow's talent, and the Broncos led the NFL in rushing.
Lovie Smith, the Chicago Bears' head coach, was fired on December 31, 2012, and the Broncos called for permission to interview McCoy for the head coach position.
In addition to the Bears, the Arizona Cardinals, Buffalo Bills, San Diego Chargers, and Philadelphia Eagles all applied and were granted permission to interview McCoy for their open head coaching positions during the Broncos' playoffs bye week. "He's a heck-of-a coach," Denver head coach John Fox said when asked about McCoy's being a hot head coaching candidate.
McCoy took over as the head coach of the San Diego Chargers on January 15, 2013, replacing Norv Turner. McCoy was the youngest active head coach in the NFL and the second-youngest in team history; Al Saunders was 39 years old when he took over as head coach in 1986. On September 15, 2013, against Chip Kelly and the Philadelphia Eagles, he earned his first victory as a head coach.
The Chargers won 5 of their last 6 games, winning 4 straight to end the season, and closed the season with a 9-7 record. As the AFC's 6th seed, McCoy led the Chargers to a playoff spot. Since 2009, the Chargers hadn't made the playoffs since 2009. In the Wild Card round, McCoy's Chargers defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 27–10, a 28–10 victory. This was the Chargers' first playoff victory since 2008. With a 24–17 loss to the eventual AFC Champion Denver Broncos, the Chargers' victory streak came to an end in the next round of the playoffs.
Despite their success in 2013, the Chargers went 9–7, 4–12, and 5–11 in the next three seasons. After losing by 37–27 to the Kansas City Chiefs, McCoy was fired on January 1, 2017. McCoy was fired as a Chargers quarterback with a 28–38 record. The Chargers declared their intention to move to Los Angeles after 56 years in San Diego, making McCoy the last person to head a professional football team in the city until Mike Martz coached the San Diego Fleet of the Alliance of American Football in 2019. He is the last person to head an NFL team in the city.
McCoy was named as the Denver Broncos' offensive coordinator on January 13, 2017. On November 20, 2017, he was dismissed after a six-game losing streak.
McCoy was hired by the Arizona Cardinals as the offensive coordinator on January 25, 2018, replacing Harold Goodwin. McCoy was suspended after offensive difficulties with the team and was replaced by Byron Leftwich on October 19, 2018.
