Cardinals reportedly close to deal with Steve Sarkisian to be offensive coordinator

[az jam]

Key to remember is that KK will be calling the plays. That in itself limits the number of coaches that will come here to be an OC.

My Twitter feed indicates that McAdoo is still in the mix.

 

[unseenaz]

what type of coach who has called plays in the past would accept a job where he comes to AZ under a rookie head coach with the knowledge that he won't be calling plays?

 

[nashman]

Lets be honest a top OC is not taking this job as they would know KK will be the playcaller.

Totally agree, that is what I said. It would have to be a coach that needs to resurrect his career. McAdoo and Sark are both in that category.

Norm Chow. Now there's a blast from the past. I remember when people were pimping him for the Cards HC job.

Maybe next time I'm out in Arizona, I'll have a beer with Sark and Keim .

I was one of those Chow fans - liked the idea of Chow and the mobile Young as a tandem. Go figure.

Is this being reported by anyone else except pro football talk?

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

This is actually a smart choice for the Air Raid install...

Sark palyed for LaVell Edwards & Norm Chow @ BYU, it was that playbook that Hal Mumme and Mike Leach used as the basis of the offense. The concepts should be very familiar to Sark and should assist him in blending the CKK's offense with the realities of NFL defenses.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

You're exactly right, Hal mumme loved the BYU offense so much, when he came to Kentucky as the head coach in 97, he changed the helmet logo to an interlocking UK & the uniforms to look like the BYU uni's. He even admitted it.

And what about Kubiak?

And what about Kubiak?

Kubiak is no longer the O-C in Denver but will remain with the team, according to reports.

i could make a case that if KKs offense with the Cards does well -- Sark becomes a hot commodity

 

[Totally_Red]

no like.

That is really interesting as they sold the fan base that Fangio would bring in Kubiak. Fangio would be the defense guru and Kubiak the offense guru. They had a parting of the ways with the guys Kubiak wanted to bring in. Is'a mess now.

Everything has gone well so far....and at a rapid speed.now it’s time to slow down and make a very deliberate and thoughtful decision. No rush

 

[azsouthendzone]

Everyone is like "Sark was terrible at Alabama."

He is headed back to Alabama.

Mcadoo to be interviewed. Who likes him?

To take it a step further - contrary to reports - Steve Sarkisian was never offered the Offensive Coordinator position with the Arizona Cardinals.

Good for you.

Gambo fumbled the Suns bridges pick but is usually spot on....for many years. Always cracks me up when people say he has no sources

He's just so obnoxious I laugh at his screw ups. I do agree with you that he seems to have the owners hands so far up his ass, his reporting is usually really accurate.
