to sign a new coach. Why:

1. It mostly revolves around the new stadium. To my knowledge there is no marquee sponsor for the stadium (this will not probably be done until 2006 - the stadium opens in the fall). So...in about 24+ months there will a sponsor deal announced. We need at least a playoff contending or .500 + team.

2. Someone has done the math..a big name coach and a winning record could perhaps double season ticket sales.

$3 - $5 million per year for a new coach is not totally out of the question when you consider the benefits...

I could go on and on for other reasons...but I have to run for now. I think we are prepared for a bidding war for a guy we want. shocker...

If it buys us Fassel or Green I say it's worth it. If they do spend that kind of $$$ they had better get out of the way and let the coach do his job!

I agree. The cards need to have some serious momentum going into the new stadium. A NAME coach, coupled with some luck in the draft , and we could be a .500 or above team heading into the new digs. Only winning games will get the attention of this town to back the cards. If we still suck heading into the new stadium, it will sell out for awhile, but the novelty of it will go away. In the retail world SALES CURES ALL, in the cards case WINNING CURES ALL!!! WIN AND THEY WILL COME!

Dave Pasch is on KDUS right now...he said: "I have been told money is not an issue" The cardinals have led him to believe that they will pay whatever it takes to get the coach they want.

FYI...
