Kingsbury Finalizing a Deal To Become TheArizona Cardinal's Head Coach

[Jetstream Green]

I can't wait until the introductory press conference so someone can interpret everyone's body language.

Can you imagine the fictional psychoanalysis Mitch is constructing now

 

[Cheesebeef]

new coach! well, at least we finally have something to talk about again with some semblance of hope!

 

[Minski]

Hey.. Charger fan - don't you have a game to prepare for?

There are no charger fans anymore

3 years in air raid and Rosen will be in a wheelchair and probably less than 1 year with our current protection.

You realize that true Air Raid OL play is set up to retreat and occupy for three big steps, giving the QB the time to sling the ball... that is why despite having OL that translate to the NFL, teams like WASH St and TT are able to put up so many points despite player size and talent difference.

The question is will we use a pure air raid scheme?

There are no "San Diego" Charger fans anymore...lol

Bowles would be an easy sell in the scenario, he just may to prefer to work with his friend.

True, but said friend is an older guy who retired once already, he may be thinking about how long BA would be active??

And Nagy promptly scored 15 points against a patchwork secondary. Just saying.

Yep. And the saints were held to 10 pts a few games ago . Payton sucks. Of course there are going to be ups and downs . You can’t hold Nagy’s feet to the fire for the playoff game. He took a team that had an over/under of 6 1/2 games this year to a division championship. Would you be happy if we win the west and lose the opening round of the playoffs next year compared to where we are today?

 

[slanidrac16]

dude... we're the Cardinals. You've followed this team long enough to know it can ALWAYS be worse.

Well it can only be 3 wins less....

Bowles back in AZ, with a young/1st time HC...would do more for his future career, if he can duplicate the previous success...IMO.

 

[HGC]

Then explain why people wanted Bieniemy even though the only time in his entire coaching career he was an OC his team won 4 games in 2 years and was gone after 2 years? But he's one of the most sought after coaching prospects this year. I'm not entirely in love with this move either but the guy coached 2 of the most dynamic QB's this season in Mayfield and Mahomes. Got to be the reason for his hiring.

He was smart enough to let Mayfield walk on at Texas Tech and dumb enough to let him leave for Davis Webb.

Apparently Keim was lining up McVay but then BA came back another year and scuppered it. Then he retired and MB chose Wilks.

Now if that’s true you have gotta think that MB, now seeing McVays success, has let Keim have this one. If Keim sees KK in a similar way to McVay then there is no reason to not think he could strike gold with KK??

I've heard that too, but only after McVay was a success. Kind of convenient and self serving, like someone saying after the game was over "I was going to put $1k on Clemson -21 to win $20K but I forgot my wallet at home" and not mentioning they lost money on on the picks they did make.

Seems possible he will end up in Tampa with Bruce if Bucs hires Bruce.

Newsflash Bucs announced they have hired Bruce Arians

And if BA has success in Tampa, Bowles will be there to take over when BA moves on

Yeah I get that, but if it’s true, it’s true

 

[Southpaw]

How different this seems from the Wilks hire. Pro active compared to the dragged out process and settling for Wilks.

Someone tweeted it, cannot remember who. I did say “apparently” though and I am wishfully hoping it’s true

 

[TheCardFan]

Couldn't be more excited with the off-season.

KK
1st pick in every round
1st waiver priority
70m in cap space

if winning, he could take over.

I'm good with this hire. Kingsbury is being brought in, anticipating that he can develop Rosen into a solid (or better) QB in this league. If this happens and the team gets its starting QB for the next fifteen years, it's a win.

It's a plus that Kingsbury is considered an innovator and someone who will shift the pieces around the board if the game goes in another direction. Wilks appeared unable to do this. Once he had a plan in place, he went with it even when it wasn't working.

It should be fun to watch games again.

 

[Mainstreet]

It sounds like Kingsbury was hired for his offensive mind and the development of Rosen.

Great to know the Cardinals are making offense a priority.

If they make a solid hire for a coordinator to run the defense we are rolling.

 

[Buckybird]

Draft the WR from Oklahoma, great fit for this offense.

Riley Ridley as well.

This offense opens up an entirely different prospect list.

Kirk should really do well and I can't wait to see Fitz play in Air Raid.

I luv Brown from OU but we’ve got to add some bigger fast guys imo.

I’ll take Lil Jordan Humphrey from Texas before either! I think he’s going to be an even better NFL WR & total gamebreaker
