    Cardinals' HC Search Thoughts Part VII

    Part 7 here. For starters, I think it is frustrating but cool that the Russian hackers haven't leaked any MB&SK emails and thus we fans are as clueless as to what the Cardinals are thinking as the media is. Here's what we think we know: Keith Armstrong and Steve Wilks are back this week for...

    Brian Flores

    If BB loses both Patricia and Flores---look for him to hire Greg Schiano as his DC. BB is a big fan of Schiano.

    I Was Clearly Wrong

    Did you ever stop to consider that Horton might have won us more than 1 playoff game in 5 years? Horton kicked ass while he was in AZ. He brought the d back to the word Cardinals.

    The Last Push For Horton

    I know this may sound crazy, but I still believe Horton deserved the job. I felt he was that good. Who knows what would have happened had Horton gotten the job. Maybe we would have won more than one playoff game in 5 years. Horton left Arians and Bowles a lot to work with on defense. Maybe...

    Keith Armstrong? Something or nothing?

    O the cosmic irony...on the day that BA's recommended HC, STs coordinator Keith Armstrong, is in Arizona for a 2nd interview, Amos Jones gets hired as STs coordinator of the Browns. If we were to poll which of BA's coaches would be the first to land a position with another team, in a million...

    2018 QB Class

    Polian is old school and ultra conservative. I like the guy. But, he's stuck on coefficients and proto-types. There's no way he would endorse Mayfield...because of his lack of height and his dubious antics.

    Championship Sunday. Who you got?

    If I were betting I would say NE and MIN. But, I want the Jaggywires and the Iggles. No more Pat Shurmur/Case Keenum skoals from me. The football gods will be in full force if Brady can't play and the Pats have to go with Brian Hoyer....after all the purported rifts within the organization...

    Cardinals' HC Search Thoughts Part VI

    All Burns and Gambo could talk about today was Bettcher. Burns wonders too whether the Cardinals are pushing Bettcher on candidates and Gambo believes that when the new HC is hired, Bettcher won't be part of the package. It was a very good discussion.

    Would this guy be a wasted pick for QB in round 2 or 3?

    I agree. Well said, Veer. The upside in Jackson is enormous. By all accounts, he is humble and very coachable. The Louisville offense wasn't a dink and dunk, otherwise his completion % would be higher. Bobby Petrone loves to take his shots downfield. He loves going for the home run. This much...

    Perfectly said and summarized, JG. Great read.

    I Was Clearly Wrong

    Because the GM at times needs to insist on what's best for the team moving forward. SK pretty miuch gave BA carte blacnhe Wow, Gimmedaball, that is a fabulous test! I am going to have my students try it! I am a "Campaigner." I think the descriptors are pretty much accurate. What is your...

    Kudos, CF88. Fantastic post. Great read. Thank you!

    Hmmm. Looks like Webb will be the #3 again behind Eli and Rosen or Darnold.

    Cardinals' HC Search Thoughts Part VI

    I think it's quite possible the Cardinals are trying to keep Bettcher on as DC. Everyone in the AZ media appears to be advocating for it, except Bertrand Berry. Could there be some pressure to try to keep BA happy? Munchak is making $2M as OL next year. He could triple that as a HC.

    I Was Clearly Wrong

    I don't think that seeing both sides of things is an effort to be right or half right. It makes for great discussions. We all have opinions---is this a competition as to who is right? Don't we all wish that our most nagging concerns about the Cardinals are wrong? Don't we all hope that the...

    2018 QB Class

    Haha! This is what makes the draft so fascinating. if Allen gets with the right coach...look out. But, right now, Mayfield is by far the superior player.

    Then you probably don't understand Steelers' fans. They wanted Faneca back in the worst way.

    Cardinals' HC Search Thoughts Part VI

    Jeff, I think they would want the GM and HC to be joined at the hip. But, the interview did not go as well as expected. Plus, like the Cardinals, the Giants are on the verge of acquiring their QBOF, and thus they need the most comfortable plan they can find to develop that QB. Whatever Wilks...

    I Was Clearly Wrong

    It is going to take a head coach with tremendous character and integrity (honesty) to turn this around. And it is going need significant changes from the GM and his practices.

    I Was Clearly Wrong

    I was wrong as well, Harry. While I have outlined all of the positives and I believe there are several, I think that the league-wide perception of the Cardinals is not very positive. i think some of it has to do with the number of players who have moved on over the past couple of years and how...

    Cardinals' HC Search Thoughts Part VI

    Jeff, good theory indeed. I am sure there is much more to this story than Munchak just deciding he just wants to stay in Pittsburgh. There likely was a phone call and whatever happened during that phone call tilted the scales. I am guessing that MB might have said to him that if he comes to...

    Cardinals' HC Search Thoughts Part VI

    First of all, JDF has been an OC for one year in Cleveland and under the circumstance he did pretty well, but his HC got fired after one year. JDF credits long-time OC and QB coach Greg Knapp (SF, OAK, ATL, DEN) for a lot of his growth and knowledge as a coach. Knapp is interviewing for the...

    Cardinals' HC Search Thoughts Part VI

    So Mike Munchak prefers to stay in Pittsburgh. What I found curious about his press release statement is that he didn't thank Michael Bidwill and the Cardinals for their consideration of him. To me, his statement was intended to elate Steelers' fans who have become tired of Arizona trying to be...

    Cardinals' 2018 Off-Season Proposal 1.0

    Because of all they gave up to move up to get Trubisky last year, I think the Bears would take a deal like this. Plus, they were happy to deal with us last year in the Budda Baker trade.

    How attractive is the Cards job vs the other openings?

    Wow, that's classless of Keim. I would have thought the opposite. In his interviews he is always talking about learning from his mistakes, which I found refreshing in juxtaposition with BA's constant finger pointing at the players. Thank you for sharing this. What a freaking irony---Keim's...
