Cardinals Head Coaching Candidates 2023

[Chopper0080]

None of this is to say our HC can’t work out. It might. History is not on our side though.

Lot of well informed/smart football guys are big fans of Lou.

 

[FB94]

More information that comes up about Lou makes him an interesting candidate.

 

[Solar7]

The more I read about Lou, the more interesting it becomes. As with every other defensive candidate we've discussed though, what's the plan on offense?

At least Lou's been around. No worries about not having any NFL connections to build a staff with.

I am extremely pro gun and pro death penalty and also extremely pro choice and 100% against all infringements on the 4th amendment.

Most people don't fit in a box

This sounds like I am very pro death in retrospect but it's more nuanced than that.

 

[Red Dawn]

Is Bieniemy still a candidate?

Is Bieniemy still a candidate?

Is he just waiting for Reid to retire? Really wierd

 

[QuebecCard]

Well this is depressing.

Do we have any idea who the defensive-minded head coach candidates want as their offensive coordinator? These defensive-minded head coach candidates will almost certainly not succeed as a head coach without a good offensive coordinator.

Or vice-versa.

 

[Jasper]

I’m just hoping atleast one side of the team is fixed. Better than having both a crap defense and offense.

So if I understand, it was clear about half way through the season Kingsbury was likely enough to go. A wise man would have started considering his options. When the season neared the end he would have narrowed his options to 5 or so candidates dumped Kingsbury about game 15. On Black Monday he would have set his 5 interviews immediately unless one was delayed by the playoffs, then reset ASAP. Do 5 interviews, no need for a second round. Pick your man and make him an offer he can’t refuse; don’t let him leave unsigned. If you picked right, how do you overpay a guy who changes the future of the franchise. With Bidwill in charge, why am I not surprised it didn’t go down that way?

Well, obviously because Keim had gone and the new GM had to be involved in the HC search. So he had to interview GMs first.

Considering that he's actually done well to stay in phase with most everyone else.

Carolina hired a winning college coach that failed. We hired a losing college coach who failed. Carolina has a solid roster missing a QB. We have a meh roster and a QB who we take about moving on from in two years. Don’t know where you feel we are in a position to take junk to Carolina.

We can talk all the trash on Tepper. He's done absolutely nothing positive there so far.

The team is 29-53 since he took over. They have wasted a bunch of draft picks on trash QBs.

They were 51-28 in the 5 years before Tepper took over.

Not sure how making them significantly worse is a good thing.

You're suffering from a serious bout of "the Cards are worse than everyone".

McNair, Tepper and Irsay are all worse than Mike.

Reich is a experienced HC with a winning record. Payton was had for a late first and second and at least brings competence. Ryans was pursued by several teams, knows the division, and has ties to one of the better offensive schemes in football. We pursued them all and they all said no.

Reich was never going anywhere other than the Panthers

Ryan's was never going anywhere other than Houston.

Both of these are like fans of another team complaining Larry Fitzgerald choosing to coach for the Cards over them.

A 1st and 2nd for Payton was too much and Denver made a desperation move.

 

[BritCard]

Guys I'm good with

Flores
Anurumo
Glenn (I hear Glenn is a great leader, hard coach and players love him. After watching some YouTube on him I can see it. He's highly respected)

Guys I don't want

Evero
Callahan
Joseph
Kafka

Guy we should interview but haven't

Raheem Morris
Brian Johnson
Shane Steichen

Well that leaves out us on this board lol

 

[JeffGollin]

Everyone talks about MB and the coach search. And I'm wondering if MO is involved?

I’ve wondered also how Monti’s “no room for ego” comment squares with Payton’s “larger than life” personality and coaching style.

Perhaps Monti has more influence than we previously thought and our new HC will be more out of a NE/Belichick mold.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

You don’t know it’s just your opinion

Of course! But you don't fly a guy out for 7 hrs of meetings if you're not interested in hiring them. The price tag ended up being far less than speculated.

Once again, the Bidwills were used, and Michael couldn't get it done. Rinse and repeat.

If the dude from Chicago was truly the number one choice for GM, but he priced himself too high and/or was holding out for the Tennessee job, that's fine. If the Chicago bears stay crappy To mediocre the next couple of seasons, because they have a quarterback who can run like Lamar, but throws like Lindley, it may be a while before he gets another serious offer.

Why are so many of you putting an apostrophe in "Ryans"? Auto-correct or just bad grammar/spelling?

For me it's autocorrect.

This all ties into public reporting just FYI before y’all throw the baby out with the bath water.
