I highly recommend listening to these interviews from Keim, Bidwill, and Arians yesterday. There are some really interesting bits in here:
Arians:

Keim:

Bidwill:

Thought it was interesting that Michael loaded up all the Cardinals film onto an iPad and shipped it out to the coaches who he'd be interviewing. I'm sure this is common, but I just thought it was cool.
Thought it was interesting that Whiz and Arians communicated throughout the process and that Whiz recommended he take the job here.
Love that Arians said he would be committing a number of coaches to work with the lineman. We've only had one line coach for quite a while.
Keim really emphasized the importance of getting tougher up front and being able to run the ball. Said that's his #1 priority, even over QB (at least that's how I took it.)
Keim said that his 7 year old could watch Chance Warmack and know he's a dominate player.
It's clear that Arians loves his players and has a great relationship with them and past coaches he's worked with.
Bidwill interviewed people whose names were never released into the media, including a college coach.
Arians said he loves two and three TE sets and if a FB is going to make the roster he better be a dang good special teams player.
Arians is extremely confident, and I think that will carry over to the players.
Arians isn't afraid to play young players.
Arians said it doesn't matter how good the other 21 players play, if you don't have a good QB, you'll lose and he'll get fired. (I anticipate a significantly different depth chart at QB next year.)
Please add anything I may have missed or correct anything inaccurate I may have said.
