If I'm Bidwill, I tell BA to fire Amos tomorrow, or they're both gone.

I forget. What number is Amos???

Yeah, that would be correct if it was one or 2 players screwing up, but its the whole ST that continues to mess up. When that happens, its coaching.

I think there is credence to this. I think too that BA promoted James Bettcher to DC because BA thought he should have been promoted to OC much earlier than he was. That decision cost the Cardinals the chance to hire a proven DC like Wade Phillips or Jim Schwartz.

But, I still wonder what happened with RB coach Stump Mitchell. Was he edged out to allow Byron Leftwich to come in as QB coach and thus moving Freedy Kitchens to RB coach? Or -- was Stump fed up with BA?

If I remember, Stump wanted a shot at greater responsibilities, and there were not many options on BA's staff - so he looked elsewhere.

His move to the Jets as their RB coach was a lateral move. No added responsibilities.

if any Cardinals' assistant coach deserved a raise last season it was Stump Mitchell.

Agreed - but he may feel he has a greater opportunity to move up in NY, or at least, that is how I understood the move when they covered it.

Catanzaro is having a very solid year with the Jets... only missed 1 in the 40-49 range and that was in a win (also his only miss) has made 4 from 40-49 and 1 from 52 and hit ALL extra points.

I find it interesting that we have kickers come here and start to totally fail under Amos care and go elsewhere, and they are just fine ! most interesting.

We need to fire BA because he will NEVER fire Amos (he has stated he would "NEVER FIRE" any coach, no matter what. So he neds to go, sooner, rather than later.

I wondered that too in the offseason especially after his lateral move. Stump has coached some damn good run games throughout his coaching career. I think there's more to the story but we will never know
