There has been no independent corroboration of the whole "refused to help" narrative so I'd slow down on the condemnation of McCarthy.. I seriously doubt he's out there letting his team lose just so he could say "I told you so" to Jerry about Moore.. I mean that kind of thinking only occurs on the internet. McCarthy would have to know that if the team loses he is the one who is going to get blamed for it regardless. My take on it is that Moore has been running this offense for over a decade dating back to his time in Detroit with Linehan and McCarthy was just introduced to it last year.. As such, McCarthy kinda HAS to lean on Moore when it comes to "how it's supposed to work." I don't think he feels qualified yet to challenge specific components of the offense.. but he SHOULD step in and say "run the damn ball, Kellen" more than he does.. after which of course Kellen invariably sends in the delay handoff up the middle with the center not assigned to block the middle linebacker and the tight end assigned to block the backside DE... and then after the play gets blown up he looks back at McCarthy and says: "See the running game doesn't work! Now leave me the F alone.."
6:20 mark ,Mike helps he just isn't taking any shine away from Kellen when he was hot.
