Card coaching search rumors and speculation

Keep far away from the Belicheck & Rivera trees.

With Andy Reid's success... I would hire his water boy

I think you have to take into consideration that ARZ needs an offensive minded coach with a proven record in wake of last season's failure with a 1st time HC with minimal experience and almost no track record. McCarthy, despite what some of you may think is the best coach on the market this year aside from possible college options.

I remember alot of people didn't want Andy Reid. McCarthy may be a poor man's Reid, but he's this years version of him. Being a proven coach who just didn't get a ton of support. Won a championship though, and very competitive most years.

I'd just be sure to ask him about creativity on offense and make sure he can adapt to today's NFL. What he did to help develop Rodgers as he sat behind Favre. What he could for Rosen, and what offense he would run to play to his strengths. Without Rodgers, the Packers offense looked as bad or worse than ours... in multiple seasons. I'd ask him why.

I got a feeling this time around they will move quickly. I also think they already have a pretty good idea who they want already.

They said they already reached out 'informally", I guess to gauge interest from some of their candidates, for all we know their #1 choice is mutually interested and it is one and done.

McDaniels has been my ideal choice but I didn't think it would be possible due to his contract with NE. Now that everyone is speculating I guess it means he has an out in there that allows him to leave at will?

I wouldn't mind Bowels back as DC but not sure how that works out when you take someone used to being the HC and put him in as a subordinate with his old team paired with a new HC. The power dynamic could be a bad thing unless both are on the same page and get along great.

My only stipulation is that the new HC not be a DC. They have to be an offensive guy because offense drives the league now. A DC or HC with defensive pedigree is a nonstarter for me.

Please no to Gase. Id be good with

McCarthy
Bieniemy - Chiefs OC
J McDaniels
Pete Carmichael - Saints OC
Caldwell
Zach Taylor - Rams QB Coach

I'm with you... No Gase. I like McCarthy in some ways and in others I think he is a bad fit. I really feel like going with a successful OC is the best option and not a HC fresh off being fired.

 

[GatorAZ]

I would take Stoops or Shaw. Higher on Stoops.

 

[bojack]

Id take Haley as OC. He and Warner had more to do with the SB appearance than Whis did.

Please don't try to jinx us by mentioning Haley.

I think that would be one of the worst options for OC this team right now, and it has more to do with him than his coaching style.

Maybe he declined the Jets because he's already said yes to AZ...lol

I'd probably decline the Jets, too...

Zac Taylor. Rams QB coach. Highly regarded young offensive coach.

Cards reportedly requested an interview with Eric Bienemy

 

[iLLmatiC]

I guess Mike got tired of scoring 14 points a game. Pick up a hot OC and hire Bowles back.

 

[azsouthendzone]

It's strange to me how so many people are advocating coordinators and unknowns and Whisenhunt is dismissed. He is a huge part of the success in San Diego. He has experience as a HC with success and failures and I'm sure he has learned a thing or two. I would be happy as hell with Whiz as HC and Bowles as DC. You could do a lot worse.

Freudian misspelling?

Whisenhunt has shown he can be successful with a high tier veteran QB but he has not done so well with younger QBs, that eliminates him from any consideration here.

I've been saying Bienemy for a while now, not sure why but I have a gut feeling he's gonna make a good HC

Ben Roethlisberger spent his first 3 years with Whiz and won a Super Bowl, ???

Is this because he failed with Leinart? Most people blame Leinart for his own failure. Can't have it both ways.

I'm not saying that Whisenhunt's record is perfect, but he is getting a HC job and he probably deserves it.

He also failed in TN with young QBs and failed here to identify a QBOTF. He insisted on the "system works" despite not having the QB to run that system after Warner retired. He is a guy who is a better OC than HC, TN proved what he does as a HC without a HOF QB, they were rarely even competitive--he had as many wins as Steve Wilks and had 7 more games to get them.

Leinart didn't take things seriously, and even now admits it.

I also thought when coming out he was no Carson Palmer. Literally I thought there was no comparison, he was clearly inferior in every way. I was OK with the Leinart pick because we needed a QB, and he was there so you had to roll the dice. But I was wary we were drafting meh who rode the coattails of those before him reputation wise on a college football championship roster.

I don't blame whis for Leinart just like I'm not going to blame Arians/Wilks for Nkemdiche (and Nkemdiche has much more talent than Leinart ever had).

This doesn't mean I think Whis can groom a young QB, just means Leinart was going to flame out no matter where he went.

In AZ he failed with any QB not named Warner...in Tennessee he failed with Mariotta.
