If BA is retiring: Thank you!!

[Lomax to Green 84]

1. Thank you for making the team I have followed for 38 years, relevant.
2. Thank you for boldly claiming the Cards would be good, and following up in your claim.
3. Thank you for creating a winning environment into an organization in desperate need of one.
4. Thank for for making it cool to be a Cardinals fan.
5. Thank for for making the Kangol a kick a$$ hat to wear.
6. Thank you for making 2015 the most enjoyable regular season ever for us fans.
7. Finally, thank you for being the greatest Cards coach since Don Coryell and by far the best coach since the move to Arizona.

Agreed, but it's time for you (BA) to move to the pasture and enjoy retirement...you've lost your touch.

Bigger and better things ahead...we hope.

That's just it, we hope. What if the coach that replaces BA stinks more them him. It's not always greener on the other side.

Be careful what you wish for

we went to the playoffs 2 times and won 1 playoff in 5 YEARS.

BA's been a solid coach for the Cardinals, but if we ever want to truly shed our loserdom, we have to stop accepting the above era as an example of great success.

We've finally got our own stadium and an owner who wants to win. Judging ourselves by our past should be a thing of the past.

Agree 100%.

 

[Finito]

Yeah it's pretty much the most successful run in the history of the franchise. Nobody considered this franchise losers anymore we've had a very good 10 year run.

We won double digit games 3 years in a row under BA. I just think it's funny how the randomness of football has destroyed this team and all of a sudden our two time coach of the year forgot how to coach

The scars run deep for those of us who were in the valley of the sun when they arrived. I continue to have flashbacks when I take in a game like the first RAMS game. I apologize for being a bit tainted.

After my long Cardinal’s fan career I can say this team is seriously snake bitten.

BA, thank you for making the Cardinals the consensus top rated team heading into the 2016 NFL season. Please don’t go into the night just yet.

Conversely, Whiz also took us to the playoffs twice, but won 4 of 6, and an NFC Championship.

You mean Warner, right?

The randomness... that's horsecrap? The league adjusted, Arians didn't and he refused to do anything about STs which repeatedly killed us for multiple seasons. And before you start belly-aching about injuries... with Palmer starting we went 10-12-1 the last two years.

And you can thank Bruce AND Wiz for people not considering us losers anymore. But at the end of Wiz's tenure, it was time to move on just like it is for Bruce. Or do we want to Bruce to completely bottom out like Wiz? Like Keim repeatedly says "Better to move on a year too early than a year too late." Arians is old, stubborn and isn't getting a contract extension... so why would we bring everyone back next year?

Moving on worked last time and we have the same people calling the shots this time. I trust them to find a good new HC.

Randomness as in injuries.

I don't care who you are your not surviving all the injuries we've had and if you think anyone could do better id love to find em. The league adjusted or did we get hurt?

Actually it's a damn miracle were hovering around .500

 

[PACardsFan]

You mean Warner, right?

You may be partially correct. I said from day 1 that even though CP was an upgrade, he would NEVER bring us to a SB. If BA had Warner, the sky was the limit.

The #AZCardinals are more confident than ever that coach Bruce Arians returns for 2018. But they are making contingency plans in case he doesn't.

They showed BA holding his 6 month grandson on the sideline today and when asked about it BA said he wanted to have that chance to experience it with him.

I took that comment to refer he wouldnt be back next season and done with football? Thoughts?

I missed that sideline shot. To me, it only means this was his chance to experience this occasion with his grandson at this age. Personally, I think B.A. is coming back. He's overcome health issues in order to return to the field. If he'd wanted to walk away, he had that opportunity.

I hope B.A. comes back but leaves his sacred cows at home. I'd like him to quit supporting his staff regardless of their skill set. If a coach doesn't know his job (say, if he was running Special Teams or something like that), I'd like him to replace him. If a back-up quarterback doesn't have the skill set to get the team into the playoffs, I'd like him to replace him instead of making excuses for him.

Also, B.A., if you're the Quarterback Whisperer, start raising your voice. The two guys behind our starter didn't get appreciably better when you were their coach. You claim you know how to build an elite quarterback. Build one for this team, okay?

 

[DeAnna]

I think he IS retiring.
