    MJ on Burns and Gambo

    Was asked about the Cardinals' 2 2nd interview requests with Munchak and DeFilippo. Munchak: * Thinks that if he blows MB & SK away they could sign him this week. * Doesn't know who his coordinators will be---but thinks Bettcher is the Cardinals' plan as DC. * Thinks Haley will be fired, but...

    Cardinals' HC Search Thoughts Part V

    I respect what you are saying---and last time the Cardinals were the last to hire and they wound up with the 2nd most successful coach. However, for right or wrong, I feel like the Cardinals as an organization are almost always a step behind or a step too slow. Look at last year's draft---the...

    Cardinals' HC Package Question

    Great answer, Gandhi.

    The Case for Munchak

    This is the angle I have been trying to warm up to---because I was conceding that MB & SK would love Munch. He fits everything MB profiled in his coaching search presser: someone with experience (he's been a HC and a star OL coach), a track record of success (only 22-26 as HC, but he didn't...

    The Case for Munchak

    I was wondering what your thoughts about Munchak are---and this gets me even more nervous. You hit on something that I wondered about---the game management/coaching issues. I had been attributing that to his coordinators, like DC Jerry Gray, who consistently struggled throughout his 3 years...

    Shurmur emerging as a frontrunner for the Cardinals?

    Wilks is a DB specialist.

    The Case for Munchak

    I have watched feeds of some Seahawks' practices. Pete Carroll is teaching all the time. He's one of the most hands-on coaches in the NFL. Anyone who has played for him will tell you that. Do you really know what you are talking about? Seriously. Typical too of you to not take stand on which...

    The Case for Munchak

    Well, then, that was my mistake. I think Munchak is a very good leader, one who would command and earn the respect of every player on the team.

    The Case for Munchak

    The OL is a great place to start, isn't it? How is the teaching of fundamentals ever a waste of resources? Pete Carroll is hands-on with the DBs all the time in Seattle, for example. Watching Patriots' practices, Bill Belichick is teaching fundamentals all the time. He too loves to focus a good...

    The Case for Munchak

    I don't think his 22-26 record with the Titans (with Jake Locker at QB) means that he can't win somewhere else. He appears to have the gravitas to be a very good HC. I think you under-estimate the kind of tone a HC can set in the locker room and out on the field. To call Munchak a glorified...

    The Case for Munchak

    I am very excited to read per Rotoworld that the Cardinals want to bring John DeFilippo in for a 2nd interview.

    The Case for Munchak

    I want John DeFilippo because I want the best QB coach we can find. That said, it's hard to ignore what Mike Munchak would bring to the table. I can see why MB and SK are high on him, as I explained in the thread.

    A+ Performances from Cardinals' HC Candidates

    Actually, MJ said yesterday that he was told by a Bears' insider that Bettcher was 4th on the Bears' list. They had 3 other DC candidates ahead of him.

    The Case for Munchak

    While at first the Cardinals' hiring of Mike Munchak to be the new head coach may disappoint the fan base in Arizona, once the fans understand this hiring better, Munchak will start to feel like a wise choice. Why? To put it simply: this is a classic case of putting the horse before the cart...

    OT- NFL Divisional Round Weekend

    The irony is over 400 yards and 5 TDs but the game hinged on two inexplicable 4th and inches calls, neither of which was a QB sneak or a dive play. Bizarre.

    Thank you, WisconsinCard. You make the journey all the more worthwhile.

    Qb driven NFL? I think not!

    This is unacceptable and a blatant violation of the rules of the board. You owe THESMEL an apology and a promise that you won't do something as classless as this again.

    Cardinals' HC Search Thoughts Part V

    They put their cards on the table, which they are allowed to do. Shurmur said he felt a strong connection with them during his interview. He knows that he's their top choice now. Now he can just go ahead and game plan for Philly w/o any more distractions.

    Thank you Wembley. Cheers to you, my friend.

    Cardinals' HC Search Thoughts Part V

    Giants closing the deal on Shurmur. This is like free agency---the top ones go fast. No time for aded "let's get to know you better" visits. You have to know who you want and go full speed ahead.

    Cardinals' HC Search Thoughts Part V

    Right, but how do the Lions get an agreement done with Patricia? Obviously there are ways (unofficial ways).
