BA's time frame..

[Shaggy]

How long do you think the BA will be a coach of the Cardinals? I know Keim will be here for several more years, but when do you think BA will call it quits?

I'm hoping that he continues to coach for at least 5 more years. What say you..

5 more years makes sense as long as he stays in good health.

Forever I'm thinkin

Minimum 5 years. Look at the guys like Moore and Pratt he convinced to come here. No way he thinks 68 is old.

I believe BA not only wants multiple Championships, but to leave a coaching-tree legacy. He has said many times he was exasperated at NFL owners choosing a type of head coach that didn't make sense to him. He wants his type of coaches to succeed, change the mindset, and immortalize his contribution. I know that is a strong word, but everything about this man says he aint doing it for a paycheck.

 

[Bodha]

Hard to say. If Whiz had Warner for 5 more years, then hed've been here 5 more years.

Its all about QB.


But ultimately I think 6-7 more years, with the ending being retirement.

He's had a chip on his shoulder for being passed up for HC jobs. He's doing this to show them what they passed up on.

This may provide some additional motivation for Arians; but I think that he simply loves the football and coaching. That's really all the motivation that's needed.

I also think we are looking at a 5-7 year window with BA in charge. But it wouldn't surprise me if after one of his protege's is elevated to HC, that BA would stick around as a consultant of some sort.

Good point. I agree that I don't think he's in it for a long haul. 5-7 years sounds about right to me.

The guy has worked his whole life for this opportunity. He knows what he needs in a QB as do Keim and Michael. He is not leaving anytime soon. He is where he wants to be.

One thing's for sure...

Whatever he does it'll be on "his" terms.

These are GREAT days to be a Cardinals' fan!

BASK-ing in SC!

It's a Cardinal-thing!
