Cardinals Head Coaching Candidates 2023

[slanidrac16]

I think this would we a turn off for many candidates. What’s the point in picking a HC that can’t select his own staff?

Remember we are talking about the Cardinals.

In addition to Joseph, apparently they informed Callahan as well that he is no longer in the running.

I think starting fresh is a good thing.

I think Anarumo is out. If I were setting up the interviews, I‘d say Kafka was the gamble, so he goes first. He‘s the best choice if you want to focus on Murray. He unquestionably has the best background in QB development of any candidates, including Reich. So you must ask do you feel saving Murray is critical? If so and Kafka is confident and convincing, you pick him. You sign him immediately. Coming from the Giants who were cleaning up a big mess, the Cards job may not intimidate him. The presence of 2 personnel front office gurus could be very reassuring to him.

If you detect any apprehension, you pass and hope for a good OC & maybe QB Coach.

Up next is Flores. If you haven‘t hired Kafka, then Flores is your HC. He would only have gotten a second interview because your new GM endorsed him, but Ossenfort would have likely accepted Kafka if he did a great second interview. The choice is Flores for all the reasons Brit has been saying. He wasn‘t my top choice but he‘s the best remaining option. You rarely get a chance to hire a winning HC. He also won with a front office trying to lose. That means his team played for him. He’s tough and there will be turnover. Murray could well be part of that turnover. Anarumo is out because your GM accepts Flores and Anarumo is simply less qualified. You don‘t let Flores leave unsigned. He will sign or he blows up his lawsuit.

EDIT: It has now been reported that Glenn is out as well.

There have been rumblings that Aaron Glenn is also expected to get a second interview. I wonder where he fits in the pecking order.

Patience is a virtue,ans. Despite having been patiently waiting for a Super Bowl win for numerous decades now.

Is it kind if rude to not allow him to interview for jobs elsewhere? He may very well be fired by the new HC, and his options for other teams will be much more limited by that point.

Sorry Quebec. Seems I mangled a quote of yours in this reply as well. But yes, we are Cards fans and have immense patience. Not many who lack patience would willingly follow a team that has gone numerous decades without a championship.

So I guess we still aren’t behind filling coaching slots? Oh. Of course we are.

 

[slanidrac16]

Refresh my memory. Does Flores have any connection with MO in the past? We know Glenn does. I don’t think Kafka does. What about Anamuro?

I think previous relations would play a big roll.

 

[Praxis]

I'd take any of those three finalists over Kingsbury. Hopefully this wraps up soon.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I had heard that they had an agreement between each other beforehand that if only one got a HC gig then the other one would join his staff. So it was less of a cardinal thing and more of a Whis/Grimm thing.

Huh. Never heard that. If true that’s interesting.

Flores and Monti were in New England at the same time iirc

Was thinking same. VJ gonna be screwed by cards.

 

[SoonerLou]

I really want to know who the hell Flores has in mind for OC...

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Yeah, cashing those extension paychecks for the next few years.

When Flores was hired at Miami he brought Jim Caldwell with him to be asst head coach. He had health problems that made him take a lesser consulting role and ultimately left after a year. I wonder if Flores could convince him to come onboard as his OC.

I don't even think Caldwell made it to the 1st game. Would be awesome to have him in Kylers ear.

 

[Dayman]

My gut feeling is that this is Flores' job to lose right now. I also think it's a classic case of overcorrection from Kliff, but that was to be expected.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Yeah he’ll be paid, so I don’t really feel bad for him. But it’s all relative. But these guys want to coach. They aren’t bums. So holding them hostage until there’s no more jobs or only lesser jobs is bunk.

I agree. Unless he wants to stick around or there’s another portion of this outstanding, like him being DC.

VJ eliminated. Down to Flores, Kafka and Anarumo.

Report: Vance Joseph, Callahan not considered for Cardinals head coach

The Arizona Cardinals have reportedly narrowed their head coaching search down to three names after eliminating three more on Sunday.

Well, he's been screwing the Cards for how many years?

 

[CardsFan1399]

Nope. He signed with Carolina.

Just read that. Had read that Minnesota had not hired a DC while waiting to find Evero’s status. Nice hire by Reich and Carolina.

It very well could be similar to BA situation....where they kept all the staff for BA to pick or let go.

Oh yah but it’s kind of a bad look. All the coordinator jobs may be gone.
