Cardinals Head Coaching Candidates 2023

[SoonerLou]

If a DC (Flores or Lou) gets the HC job - who are some of the top OC's candidates out there?

Eric Bieniemy is interesting in that role. He has worked with the best for several years and his contract expires after SB. Still feels like he needs to make a change/prove he can do this elsewhere to get a HC job down the line.

Flores HC
Bieniemy OC
Jerod Mayo DC

I think we have a better shot at Matt Nagy than Bieniemy

I’m not sure I want either one, tbh.

I've been thinking about Nagy recently and how little OC talk he gets.

He has a 34-31 regular season record and only had 1 losing season with 3 years of Mitch Trubisky and 1 year of rookie Fields and Dalton. He made the playoffs twice. He won coach of the year from both PFWA and AA.

Nagy would be a fine choice for OC in my opinion. Outside of his Bear's tenure he's been with Andy Reid since 2009. If you want to a Reid inspired offense that integrates a lot of college concepts then I'd favor Nagy over Bieniemy.

Wouldn't Nagy be expected to improve after 1st year in Chicago? His offense was awful.

Yep.

I wonder if Vance Joseph was the leak to Mike Silver over the past few years.

I hope Michael silver and everyone else understands that releasing someone from a contract and denying other teams permission if they ask to speak with him are two completely different things. I don't know if I was , that I would hold him to his contract knowing that if another team came calling I would give that team permission and work out compensation trade.

Flores HC
Bieniemy OC
Jerod Mayo DC

Why would you think Flores wouldn't hire Josh Boyer who he hired as his DC with the Dolphins?

 

[Chopper0080]

**** NO

? Flores chose him previously.

 

[SoonerLou]

If Lou is the guy then maybe he'll bring him in.

The Bengals reportedly signed their quarterbacks coach Dan Pitcher to a contract extension before the AFC Championship Game. But there’s still a chance Pitcher could leave the organization for a better opportunity.According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, Pitcher is set to have a second interview...

My response was me not wanting him.

HC: Flores
OC: Kliff
DC: VJ

Well, you shouldn't be hiring Flores for any sort of proven offensive competency. Dude had no clue in Miami.

I am talking OC - offense

 

[Chopper0080]

I am talking OC - offense

You had Jerod Mayo as his DC which is what I was commenting on.

I don't think any top OCs are going to flock to work with Brian Flores. He burned through Chad O'Shea and Chan Gailey in his first two years in Miami. NE guys don't have the best rep for playing well with others. You can look at Belichick and his OC history as an example.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

HC: Flores
OC: Kliff
DC: VJ

Using the banned "Steve Keim Fan" material now I see lol.

 

[Card'em]

I'm okay with any of the three.

If Flores is the guy it will be interesting to see who is brought in as the OC. Same for Anarumo.

With Kafka the big question will be who is the DC.

Question marks for all three, but I think Anarumo is probably the safest pick, and least likely to flame out.

on the strategic elements of being a HC:

Flores has done it before. i like guys who looked promising, and had a chance to reflect on round 1
Anarumo next, only due to his experience.
Kafka last.

its all a roll of the dice anyway. It looks like the team will get at least standard NFL GM-ing, but that also remains to be seen.

 

[QuebecCard]

Is there a situation where a bong rip isn't warranted? Lol

Yes, just before you're interviewed for a second time for a H-C job in the NFL.

The owner and GM may not share or understand the flights of fancy prefaced by 'hey, man' and 'listen, dude.'

 

[QuebecCard]

My local high school team needs a dc. I’m gonna call the HC and tell him to reach out.

What have you got against this school?

 

[BritCard]

This is what I don't get about the Flores hire. As if he's just going to do the same thing that didn't work for him before because this time it will surely work.

Do people think Flores isn't fully aware the big issue for him was getting the offense right? And is just going to do the same thing again?

 

[QuebecCard]

Have we heard any reports of teams asking permission to interview Vance or anyone else? It would be mentioned, I'm sure. We hear about from other teams.

There is a TWEET that SF has expressed interest following DeMeco's departure.

HC: Flores
OC: Kliff
DC: VJ

Knowing us it would be DC Kliff, OC VJ, mix things up
