    Whose the DL Coach?

    Anyone know who the Cards have hired for DL coach or who has been interviewed? This is a big hire for the defense, because it seems like offensive line (Grimm), defensive line, secondary (Austin and Courtwright), and special teams (Spencer) require the most intense one-on-one coaching.

    Clayton's 2007 Cards Preview

    Instead of just letting Davis walk away for nothing. How about slapping him with the franchise tag and give him the right to negotiate a contract with another team during the free agent process. If Dallas wants him they can sign him and the Cardinals can be flexible on the compensation...

    Trade Down Proposal

    To secure Miami's 2nd rounder the Cardinals would have to include one of their other picks. The best possible way for that to occur would be for the following: Arizona trades #1 (5) and #4 (102) 1792 points to Miami for their #1 (9) and#2 (40) 1850 points. This would leave the Cardinals...

    Trade Down Proposal

    If one of the top QB prospects (Russell or Quinn) are still on the board when the Cardinals select, then I believe the Cards will trade down for extra picks. One proposal that would work is this: Arizona trades 1st (pick 5) 1700 points to Miami for their 1st (pick 9), 3rd (pick 71), 4th...

    Atlanta's staff

    Marty Schottenheimer (when in Cleveland and Kansas City) has hired his brother Kurt before as a special teams, defensive backs, and defensive coordinator coach at various times. He also employed his son Brian as QB coach two years ago.

    Cardinals Free Agent Targets

    Edwards is a good option but he is two-years older than Fletcher Baker and reports out of San Diego are he would like to return to KC and play for Herm Edwards.

    Cardinals Free Agent Targets

    I follow that thinking and hope the Cards will look at say Lance Briggs, Asante Samuel or Nate Clements but we all know that some teams throw big bucks more often towards free agents than the Cardinals do most of the time. I could see the Redskins blowing big cash for Clements and Freeney or...

    Cardinals Free Agent Targets

    Didn't see the TSN article but Fletcher-Baker would be an ideal player for the Cards. He is 32 but is never injured, very heady, always makes plays, and is a defensive leader something the Cards could use in addition to Wilson.

    Cardinals Free Agent Targets

    Not sure the Cardinals will spend big bucks for Thomas, Clements and Samuel. Signing Gandy and Fletcher-Baker with some lower-priced free agents thrown in (maybe three others) is the scenario Arizona will probably pursue.

    Cardinals Free Agent Targets

    That was a projection only which can change of course based on who is available at the position we pick. The emphasis should be placed on taking the BPA in round one (regardless of position excluding QB/WR). With that approach the Cardinals could select one of the following: Adrain Peterson RB...

    Cardinals Free Agent Targets

    After Whisenhunt hires his staff, his next order of business will be addressing free agency. The Cardinals very likely will not franchise Leonard Davis, which therefore will leave a major need at left tackle. I believe this position could be filled through free agency, instead of the draft and...

    Cards hire Whisenhunt - Now It's Official

    Good solid hire. It's nice to see that the Cardinals get the deal done before he leaves. I wonder if any Steeler assistants will follow with Cowher now retired.

    2007 Cardinals: The Hiring Process Is A Joke

    I have no problem with the system the Cardinals are using to secure a coach. Maybe just maybe they can get it right and find someone who will be a winning coach and that can stay here several years. I'm glad they "checked Rivera's water" and found it lacking offensively. The hire needs to be...

    *Breaking News* Cardinals | Sherman won't be offered job

    Did Urban mean Sherman is completely eliminated from consideration? Therefore, Sherman, Pendergast, and Rivera have been culled. Maybe Arizona will pick their coach by the process of elimination. Remember taking those standardized tests in high school and you didn't know the correct answer so...

    Mike Sherman 2nd Interview Thread

    We better get use to Sherman as the coach because that's what going to happen. Of course he might have had the best interview and resume for the position. I'm responsible for hiring for my organization and it's our policy to hire the best for every position. None of us were involved in the...

    Mike Sherman 2nd Interview Thread

    Sherman is the hire PFT is reporting that Sherman is the hire. Not suprised as the Cardinals go the "conservative" route with this hire. I know a high school coach who knows Mike Sherman when he was the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Texas A&M under R.C. Slocum. He liked...

    The Baker's Dozen

    I really think Tom Moore makes the machine tick in Indianapolis and he has no desire to be a head coach and is pushing 70 years of age.

    The Baker's Dozen

    I don't think the Bidwills have Mora on their list. He will have to go the DC route or wait for the Ty Willingham regime to fail.

    The Baker's Dozen

    Here in alphabetical order is the likely coaching list the Cardinals will consider: Cam Cameron, OC-San Diego Chargers, 45 years old, (+) excellent offensive leadership with Chargers and relatively young; (-) failure as head coach at Indiana and may not be available until February. Pete...

    Kirwan/Carroll Regime

    One possibility is to hire Pat Kirwan as team president and Pete Carroll as head coach with general manager duties. Create a Scott Pioli/Bill Belichik working relationship that exists in New England. Kirwan is good friends with Carroll and worked with him when both were with the Jets. Here...

    Denny Green to Stanford

    With Walt Harris fired today maybe Denny should return to the college ranks and take over the dreadful program (and yes he has done wonders with bad programs-right) at Stanford again. He has many contacts at the school and you know Bill Walsh would help if he chose to return to Palo Alto. This...

    What I think happens

    The Cardinals could conceivably hire Dick Vermeil or Bill Walsh as a mid-season consultant who in turn will help hire the next GM and Head Coach this winter. I don't think Michael Bidwill will do all of that work by himself. It would be smart to surround himself with some Super Bowl winning...

    Cards 2007 Head Coach

    The Cards will not go big-name for their next coach you can take that to the bank. Instead they will go the route of the Vikings (Childress), Rams (Linehan) and Saints (Payton) and take an assistant with zero years experience as a head coach. They went the name, re-tread, and money coach in...
