Retirement is the #1 killer of old folks they say. I think he has a man crush on Mayfield who is the gutsy gunslinger with attitude. He was probably forced out because he could have coached someone similar to Mayfield in Rosen.
Mayfield is a winner and confident, Rosen not so much.

Mayfield also has a 10x better offensive line than we do and multiple offensive targets to throw too. Mayfield would look completely pedestrian on our team.

The way they've improved without Jackson, they're looking like a playoff team now. What if they go on a run and win most of their remaining games? Why would they need to change coaches?
Let's see them actually beat someone first. Atlanta is a shell of the Super Bowl team and Cincy is in a free fall. If they win @ Houston next week then we can talk potential playoffs.

Well, they've got a last place schedule so any wins they get are probably going to be of the lesser variety. But, they're 2-1 and scoring 25+ point/game since they fired Jackson. At that level, they're at least good enough for the 2nd wild card. And I'm not really arguing for them to get in right now but if the dynamic they have is good enough for winning football...no small feat in Cleveland, do they really want to mess with that? Arians doesn't exactly guarantee victories for a long terrible franchise. On paper he's an improvement but personalities and cohesion are at play right now. Especially so if they finish the season with twice as many wins as losses.

At Houston, Carolina, at Denver, Cincinnati, at Baltimore. If they finish 3-2 and go 5-3 under Williams that would be very difficult to break up IMO.

Just shows you that BA left the Cards under duress. I think MB and Keim are the reason BA left (IMO he resigned so he wouldn't be fired)

maybe Im just lost here ( **very possible**):


if last year was a retirement -- why wouldn't the Cards consider bringing BA back?

literally the winningest coach in Cardinal history and...………..


that fact he isn't does speak to a falling out of some sort between BA and Keim and/or Mike B

B.A. was pretty stubborn (loyal) with his special teams coach. I'd love to hire Freddie Kitchens as O.C., but not B.A.

BA is the last coach on the planet that would fake retire to avoid getting fired.

You aren't lost.

He literally said on air in week 3 he would still be coaching the Cardinals if not for injuries. Since then he has said nothing but "I would coach again in the right situation"

They are going to discuss this on the radio. I agree there is something strange/weird going on that BA would refuse to come back here. :shrug: Was he forced out? Did he burn his bridges?

He's a long shot to return to coaching, but if he does I'd want a second round draft choice as compensation.
Well, Tampa Bay has a history of paying draft picks for coaches,at least.

Holy crap they are literally on 98.7 right now discussing how Arians was likely pushed out the door and never really retired

I have been on this for months!

Just like I was with Sarver and the Suns
