La Canfora: Expect Reid to end up in AZ

[HoodieBets]

When this happens and we see the staff it will be the best offseason day the cardinals have ever had.

This would make the NFC West 4/4 on coaches under the Bill Walsh coaching tree.

I don't think any of the other NFC West coaches came from the Walsh coaching tree.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Vick has stated publicly that he wasn't happy with how Reid benched him for Foles after he was back from injury. I don't see the relationship getting repaired.

Excuse my ignorance on this one but how is Pat Shurmur as an OC? Don't know anything about him.

This would make the NFCW a bruising division and a high flying circus act with all four teams. In short, it will be the most exciting division in all of football.

Pete worked for Seiffert while Walsh was consulting, fisher comes from the tree, and Harbaugh has no connection.

They did. Check this chart out.

They all did, but is a very big tree.

Numerous sources have said former Browns GM Tom Heckert is most likely to end up with Reid there; Heckert worked with Reid in Philadelphia. Also, Reid may able to salvage quarterback Kevin Kolb, who he drafted and coached with the Eagles.

Reid would look at recently fired Browns coach Pat Shurmur for a coordinator position. Reid is expected to pursue former offensive line coach/defensive coordinator Juan Castillo for his offensive line position and former Vikings head coach Brad Childress, Shurmur's coordinator in Cleveland, could also join the staff as a quarterback coach.

Wow. What a day to be a Cards fan.

No shortage of sources telling me that Andy Reid will be having a press conference in Arizona by end of the week.

I thought he did a solid job with Bradford his rookie year. They didn't take a lot of vertical shots down field though.

I guess I'm the only one who is completely mortified, by the Walrus becoming our next HC?

I guess thats forever going to be the culture here, Others trash is our treasure.

3 guys with HC experience on that staff! That won't come cheap, so Reid will be expected to bring results RIGHT NOW!!

If true I imagine it would be awfully hard to wipe the smile off Fitz's face.

Shurmur also coached the Eagles' QBs from 2002-2008. We DESPERATELY need someone with that type of experience.

A guy who coached 1 team for 14 years is hardly trash IMO. There just comes a time when it's time for a change in the organization. He has a far better track record than any coach we've ever had.

Another thing is that he has never really had issues when it comes to offense and combining that with Horton's D and we could be looking at a pretty good team.

If Heckert can fix up the Oline. It will definitely be more beneficial that Shurmur has a lot more talent at WR in AZ than he did in St.Louis and Cleveland.

High risk/reward approach by the Cardinals. If all these reports are accurate, that'll be an experienced / expensive staff & they had better win right away. Are we getting the HC that took the Eagles to 5 NFC Championship Games or are we getting the second coming of Denny Green? To Michael's credit, it doesn't sound like he'll be handcuffing Reid like he did Green & Whisenhunt. My take is that we'll know right away.

Agreed.

Let's not forget another rather rotund HC we had who had a similar track record when he came here. Denny Green.

Whiz had as many Super Bowl appearances in his 6 years as Reid did in his 14. So..... yeah

Not saying Reid won't be #azcardinals next HC but i'm hearing team isn't that far along in process. Haven't heard heckert as GM

Yeah and Reid also had 5 times as many trips to Conference Championship Games and 4 times the amount of trips to the playoffs. What's your point?

or Buddy Ryan
