What a great topic.
If we see a marked improvement, it depends on the WHY as much as the IF.
If there is more dynamic playcalling, play design, and execution, it would lead you to think that McCarthy was a big part of the problem.
If we get more of the same, I’m not sure you can conclude that he wasn’t part of the problem. How much new stuff can you install in one week? I don’t think very much. And I think it’s more than just play-calling.
I think we will see more dynamic playcalling and better results, but I don’t think we will see much up tempo
