    What's the deal with Fassel

    I agree I think Singletary was a stud as a player and could be a stud of a head coach. Corporations paid him big bucks as a leadership speaker. I've heard he has had rave reviews as the LB coach for the Ravens. He is an unique guy whose learning curve might be shorter than some other coaches...

    What's the deal with Fassel

    ESPN article written by Pro Football Weekly: Dave McGinnis, Arizona Cardinals It probably won't matter that the Cardinals' victories this season have all come against teams with better records, or that they've proven to be very respectable at home. Their poor play on the road this season --...

    What's the deal with Fassel

    Good point Gollin. I think you have a good grasp of the situation. I think it would be foolish not to consider Denny Green, Lovie Smith, June Jones, Mike Singletary, and countless others. Yes, Fassel is a good choice, but there are many good choices, and I think it might be best to hire...

    What's the deal with Fassel

    Every thread about coaching always indicates that the Cardinals will hire Fassel as head coach. I know he was an assistant here for one year but there are many assistants throughout the league who have spent time in Arizona or with the Cardinals when they were in St. Louis. Where is all...

    Free Agents to Arizona

    If Jim Fassel gets the gig in Arizona I would not be suprised if the Cardinals signed these free agents: Chris McAlister-CB (Ravens) Dennis Northcutt-WR (Browns) Chris Bober-C (Giants) Cornelius Griffin-DT (Giants) Jesse Palmer-QB (Giants) restricted FA The Cardinals will let Barrett...

    Fassel's Staff

    I would imagine Sullivan would be toast, unless he is willing to take a lesser role in the offense.

    Fassel's Staff

    June Jones

    Fox Sports did a piece on potential NFL head coaches and June Jones was one of the coaches emphasized. The report stated that he is highly respected within league circles, knows how to groom quarterbacks and create offense.

    June Jones

    I think he would modify the offense somewhat in the pros. He was the interim head coach with the Chargers in 98 and he ran a modified system. Your correct in that probably 75% of the offense would be true blue run and shoot, but since the Cards play in good weather in the desert his offense...

    June Jones

    I think the Cardinals should strongly consider hiring June Jones as their next coach. He has NFL head coaching experience, coordinator experience, playing experience, and is one of the top offensive minds in football. Under his leadership he rebuilt the Hawaii program taking it from a 0-12...

    McGinnis will be fired

    I don't think McGinnis has given up, but he knows it would take a very strong finish for him to have any chance of being retained. I think the worst part is the blowout losses. In the NFL the key is to play close games and to win enough to make the playoffs.

    McGinnis will be fired

    Jay Glazer, NFL beat writer, stated last night on the Arizona Sports Report that he spoke with McGinnis this week and he told Glazer the gig is up in Arizona. He has resolved himself to the fact this will be his last season. Glazer stated changes are forthcoming.

    King can't play he is not near the qb Blake is.

    College Coach for Cardinals

    If the Cardinals decide to look at a college head coach they might want to consider Connecticut's Randy Edsall. He is responsible for Connecticut's move into Division I football playing status. This season Edsall has lead Connecticut to a 9-3 record in only their second season playing D-I...

    Hot Assistant Coaches

    I hope the Cardinals hire someone young and highly-motivated. I would be happy with Schwartz or Frazier.

    Hot Assistant Coaches

    Len Pasquarelli of ESPN outlines the "top" assistant coaches in line for head coaching position. I think Schwartz is the best of the lot. Here is his list: But here is a look at a few assistant coaches with whom fans might not be too familiar, and who could some day be calling the shots for...

    Picking a Coach

    This is just a curious note, but I wonder how the Cardinals decide on a head coach? Do they use recommendations from other owners? Is it the coaching staff the person will bring or the salary they will command. I just wonder how you get "on the list." Since we obviously have failed in this...

    Fire Mac NOW!!!!!!

    How much is enough? Good grief we get blown out more than any other team in the league. Fire McGinnis hire defensive assistant/quality control/special teams assistant Stan Kwan as interim coach. Hell he would fill the requirement of a minority candidate. We can assess the head coach and...

    Tom Modrak-GM

    The Pro Football Talk website is reporting that the Cardinals are making inquiries into the possibility of hiring former Eagle GM and current Bills consultant Tom Modrak as general manager. The article also states the Bengals have some interest in Modrak. This would be interesting if the...

    5 out of 7

    Maybe 7-9 will save his job, but you would think he would need to win more than he loses over the next seven weeks to keep his job.
