Horton didn't destroy his resume with horrible results as DC just a season ago

nor did bowles. He got stuck running a system that he doesn't run, with a cancer who created it still there until December, on a team that had already quit. It's already been noted that Bowles is a 3-4 coach. He was trying to milk a 4-3 gimmick...I can't judge his production on that.

I love Horton, but it is not feasible that he would be staying as DC. Especially if he was remotely disgruntled.

When your cow breaks its leg, you don't operate on the entire cow; you fix the leg.

That's fine when the cow functions as one unit, all cohesive and bought in. when the legs aren't in sync with the brain, fixing the leg does no good other than making it better at fighting with the brain.

Oh my goodness. Our new HC wants his own staff, heartless jerk. MB caving to this craziness is even worse.

Maybe MB can find a way to void the final year of their contracts so he doesn't have to pay them.

From several posters "If MB doesn't fire Whiz I'm done with season tickets or rooting for the team or buying jersey's or......."

MB fires Whis and now the natural course of events unfolds and now "MB is a heartless idiotic jerk who doesn't care about his employee's".

I was sorry that we weren't able to keep Horton around but based on how he has handled not becoming the HC I think it's for the best.

The good news is Horton isn't the only DC in the entire NFL that can coach this group of players.

yup... I'm not one to really pimp the FO or Bidwills, but I was all for Wiz being fired and i knew that meant there was a very high probability that a new HC would want to bring in HIS staff and the FO would have been pretty stupid IMO not to hand the reins over to a new coach if they truly wanted it to be his team. that's just the way sports works.

Are any of these new coaches droolers? Does anyone know? I like a coach that drools all over himself when he gets excited.

I actually know some farmers, and if one of their cows or pigs has a broken leg they are sending out invitations for a Saturday BBque.

Like I said when asked on another thread - I'm pissed.

The flip side of "accountability" is rewarding people when they do good. The entire defensive staff did better than good and got fired.

The Cardinals under Wiz got dragged down by an inept offense. So OK, replace the offense. Instead, Michael B thru Coach Arians decided (at least from a coaching standpoint - so far) to blow up the entire football team.

Makes no sense. Sets us back a year; maybe longer.

As a fan, I feel like I'm being taken back to an era where all we could hope and pray for was that we'd somehow pull off a miracle that would turn an "L" into a "W."

I hope and pray that Coach Arians can pull off a miracle, but I really hate to be in a position where we have to hope instead of "know."
It isn't Arians' responsibility to reward these guys because he is new to the team. If he already has a set of guys that he was already planning to bring with him and those are guys that he feels comfortable working with than I say he should fire everyone and go with his guys.
