Cardinal Press Conference

[Zeno]

Whether they chose to answer or not is their choice. to stop the conference before those questions are asked in anticipation is cowardice.

The presser served its purpose as far as the organization was concerned and ended what appeared to me to be the logical point. What more could be said about the topic? I think you were expecting a "season in review" Q&A or something.

 

[Minski]

So who last year in the coaching process got hired before they could interview with us, or who got re-upped to stay in their current role?

 

[GuernseyCard]

Oh what if the guy they wanted to look at never took a head coaching job AND is already out of football?

I heard that they really liked Defiippo last year.

If they liked DeF . they could have had him. He didn't get a H-C job and flamed out as an O-C.

What items in my list of sample questions are inappropriate to be asked in this press conference?

What items in my list of sample questions are inappropriate to be asked in this press conference?

Since the presser was to address the coaching position...

I bolded them to make it easy.
#7. Why Sam Bradford was chosen as starting QB and dropped after 3 games after getting paid 15 million?

#8. Why choose a head coach who you are not certain to begin with? Team isn't going to even entertain this question, why even bother asking?

#9. Was McCoy given to Wilks or was it Wilks choice?

#10. What evaluations led to signing of injured OL to large contracts?

#11. Did Keim's record from last three years and DUI factor in retaining?

#12. Is 2019 a re-building year? Show me an organization that publicly admits this EVER.

#13. How long does the new head coach has to begin with? I have no idea what this means.

# 14. Why is the team so thin at skill positions like WR

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Some of this you can infer based on their answers. They answered it but quickly moved back to their core talking points.



#7. Why Sam Bradford was chosen as starting QB and dropped after 3 games after getting paid 15 million?

I think Wilks was told to stop playing Bradford and that is why he was dropped after 3 games. No mention as to why he was signed in the first place.

#8. Why choose a head coach who you are not certain to begin with?

They didn't get whom they wanted but he impressed MB

#9. Was McCoy given to Wilks or was it Wilks choice?

This was asked and they refused to answer it

#10. What evaluations led to signing of injured OL to large contracts?

Injuries came up some and they owned this as a mistake and how they have to do better at keeping their players healthy

#11. Did Keim's record from last three years and DUI factor in retaining?

No. It literally doesn't matter to MB. He was crystal clear about it. Keim is beyond safe and the sooner we all accept it the better.

#12. Is 2019 a re-building year?

No. They believe they can turn it around quickly

#13. How long does the new head coach has to begin with?

This question doesn't make sense sorry. It's missing a word or two

# 14. Why is the team so thin at skill positions like WR

This didn't come up

Keim needs to lose the beard.

 

[AZ Native]

Seems pretty apparent that Wilkes was MBs choice.

Yes it was. But then again, if Michael said anything else, the next question would have been "Then why is Keim still sitting up there with you?"

Keim said "it's embarrassing as hell" that the Cardinals had the season they did.

Even more embarrassing was the offseason preceding it. That's all on you, SK!

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Keim needs to lose the beard.

Why? Doesnt look bad.

 

[Mainstreet]

is there a link to entire press sonference. I've been looking but only found a 2 minute video.

I missed the live press conference well.

If anyone has a link to the entire recorded press conference it would be appreciated.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Today I saw what I thought I would never see with this Cardinals organization.

The questions were sharp so Bidwill and Keim cutoff the press conference. What a bunch of pansies. Shame on both of you. Shame.

Yep. Used to powerpuff questions with no follow up.

So when is the press conference scheduled for "year-in-review" to get some information on these questions for fans?

 

[Zeno]

Do any NFL teams do that? Honest question.

They made no secret what this presser was about and they addressed the why and what next that we should expect as fans.

Bidwill cites Keim's track record, hiring Arians, trade for Carson Palmer as reason "I have lot of confidence in him."

No mention of Keim's horrible draft record?

Can we pin this somewhere? That way when we have another crappy year we can circle back to this for the Keim supporters who will once again lament that it was a rebuilding year.

John Brown was out of Pittsburg St. People (including me) weren't thrilled with his selection in the third round.

Marqui Christian continues to be a core special teamer for the Rams.

I don't mind making unconventional choices with this mid- and late-round picks. It's not like we've gotten far with Michael Floyd, Kevin Minter and D.J. Humphries, either.

Wasn't Floyd a Whiz pick?

 

[kerouac9]

Wasn't Floyd a Whiz pick?

Maybe, but Keim was the Director of College Scouting (or whatever) at that time. If you don't like that big-school guy, feel free to sub in Troy Niklas, Dorian Johnson, or Kareem Martin.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Why? Doesnt look bad.

On him, I think it does...it makes him look like a crazy drunk...

 

[Buckeye Cardinal]

On him, I think it does...it makes him look like a crazy drunk...

Again?

 

[jmt]

I would also say it better not be Rex Ryan (good DC, bad HC), Bill Cowher (away from coaching too long), Mike McCarthy (predictable, unimaginative offense, and mediocre success level with one of the best QBs ever), Mike Shanahan (too old, too set in his ways), Bowles (See Ryan, Rex), Marvin Lewis (see Shanahan, Mike).

I agree but might be convinced of Cowher. Anybody but hose mentioned.

 

[MrYeahBut]

Tony Dungy? Not that I would want him.

 

[AZ Native]

Tony Dungy? Not that I would want him.

In that case just go for Herm.

 

[Chopper0080]

A lot of players he has drafted are still in the league. Just saying.
