Assuming Joseph Gets an HC Job

[Harry]

What do you think about bringing Bowles back to be DC?

 

[Shane]

Why are you hearing rumblings he’s gonna get fired? He’s def not doing a very good job at the moment. I remember multiples here saying he would be a great HC option for us even after his utter failure in NY. Lol

I wouldn’t mind him as a DC but doubtful it would or could happen and very much doubt VJ gets another HC opportunity…

Why don’t you think VJ will get another chance?

 

[Krangodnzr]

Why don’t you think VJ will get another chance?

I don't think that he currently would.

Guys like Demeco Ryans will be ahead of him in the hiring cycle.

 

[BurqueCardFan]

Why don’t you think VJ will get another chance?

Because he's not very good at DC or HC

 

[Shane]

Why don’t you think VJ will get another chance?

I don’t think he’s shown enough to deserve one. And I don’t hate him like some others do around here.

 

[football karma]

i think the Cards would have to make the playoffs and win a game -- all while playing great defense -- for Vance to get a HC job

i think most owners want to hire a guy that is competent AND is an easy sell to the fanbase.

 

[AZ Native]

Why don’t you think VJ will get another chance?

By the time the new teams learns his defense, he would be fired.

 

[Krangodnzr]

If I'm Vance, I wouldn't just take any HC job that comes his way. He's already experienced taking one job with no QB.

 

[Dayman]

We are 27th in points allowed and 22nd in yards allowed. I'm not sure if that is opening many head coaching doors for Vance.

The growing narrative on this board about the defense actually being good is strange.

 

[QuebecCard]

The Cardinals beat Carolina 26-16 with McCaffrey.

The Bucs lose to Carolina 21-3 without McCaffrey.

​

 

[Russ Smith]

If he does get hired we apparently get a 3rd round pick as compensation for losing someone who becomes a HC.

 

[az jam]

I like Bolwes. He is an excellent DC. He inherited a mess in Tampa Bay with Brady. I would love to see him back with the Cards as DC. However, I don't see it happening.

 

[Vacard]

The only way VJ gets a head coaching job is if KK gets fired during the midsesason. And I don’t see that happening if we continue to win

Lol… yeah. It’s overachieved from the absolute bottom of the barrel I expected, but being average to below average… on a mediocre team… isn’t wetting the whistles of a lot of franchises out there.

 

[JosiahLee]

Why don’t you think VJ will get another chance?

Lol exactly. VJ is not gonna be a HC this off-season.

 

[Stout]

If I'm Vance, I wouldn't just take any HC job that comes his way. He's already experienced taking one job with no QB.

The counter is that he may never get another shot, so the choice might be to take whatever is offered or never be a HC again.

 

[BritCard]

To answer the question straight up it's a yes. Everyone loves Bowles as a DC.

But I don't think Vance gets a HC job. If anything Bowles is showing everyone why Vance shouldn't get a HC job.

On saying that I think Bowles is getting a raw deal. They have had a bunch of injuries especially on O line but also elsewhere and Brady is obviously playing poorly with his mind elsewhere.

Yeah. I think Vance is producing a slightly below average defense with below average personnel as a whole.

 

[CardNots]

Lol exactly. VJ is not gonna be a HC this off-season.

Or next…

 

[Gandhi]

What do you think about bringing Bowles back to be DC?

I could see them moving on from Kingsbury, bringing Byron Leftwich in as head coach, and he bringing Bowles with him as DC.

Yes, my middle name is Nostradamus.

I'll give him props for keeping us in games this season (except KC) when the offense couldn't do ****, considering what Keim gave him to work with. Overall though, I think his system is too complicated to learn. It would literally take us winning the SB for him to get another HC job imo & that ain't a happenin lol.

 

[Cards_Campos]

His defense is much better than using stats. I know sounds crazy but. We held Seattle down. We held the Eagles down. We have made big splash plays against the Saints and Raiders. I think our defense with everyone healthy is very good. Take away the KC game and really the prevent we played on the saints. We have done very well. He seems to do a very good job on adjusting. Saints had like 200 yards in a qtr and the. Had like 80 for 2 qtrs till the 4th. Eagles scored 3 points in 2nd half. Seattle was held down and we just turned the ball over at bad times.

Nearly all the bad is down to game one. The yardage, the points, the TDs, pressures, sacks etc all far higher in game 1 than since.

It's ok to look at the stats and say "Actually, from week 2 onwards it's been pretty good". Two of our 3 wins have been defensive wins. 28 of the 156 points scores have been defensive or special teams.

In 7 games we have restricted opponents to 23 or less 5 times. 4 of them 20 or less.
