The Cardinals have hired Cowboys assistant Cristian Garcia as inside linebackers coach, per source. Garcia was assistant DB coach last year and was somebody the Cowboys hoped to keep but opportunity was better in Arizona.

I hope this makes Jerrah's face droop.

You mean it’s possible to hire assistants from other NFL teams, not just college? Weird.

Literally nothing wrong with hiring from college. You like to be dramatic I see.

That old man in Vegas came from college once.
Lots of solid coaches work their way up

No problem with hiring a position coach or even a coordinator from the college ranks.

However, NFL history is littered with the stories of college Head coaches who failed at the NFL level from Steve Spurrier to Kliff Kingsbury.

It has to be at least a one level promotion. They can’t take same level job; in this case an assistant anything.

Jaguars are hiring Cardinals pass game specialist Spencer Whipple as their new quarterbacks coach. Whipple - the son of former UMass HC and longtime NFL assistant Mark Whipple - spent the last six seasons in Arizona in multiple roles under Kliff Kingsbury and Jonathan Gannon.

Kingsbury seems to be doing well now

As an OC. That is his calling imo.

Whipple played a big role in scouting Cardinals’ opponents and preparing game film. He’s the 4th assistant Jonathan Gannon will have to replace this offseason.

How many coaches have we lost or let go? It’s not something I’ve tracked recently.
