lol Bleacherreport. First comment in the article btw.

"This list is laughably bad. Tomlin over Belichick? Whisenhunt the worst coach? Caldwell in the top ten? ****."

and it seems everybody commenting on the article thinks its a joke and a lot of guys go out their way to defend the Whizzanator.

 

[cardpa]

I do agree with the comments made about whiz. The veteran talent probably did help in the run to the SB.

He has lost this team.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

I still don't know why the players get the credit when the team/ HC does well but, when the team stinks, it's all on the HC.

This is Whiz's firts year with a losing record. Yeah, i'd run him out the door. I'm sure there are alot better coaches out there. Hey Dave Wannestadt's available. I think Coach Mac would listen. Maybe,if the money's right, we could get Hank Kuhlman. And just possibly, if they really step up, David Shula could be had.

I still wish the Cards could have gotten Lindy Infante or Rich Kotite out of retirement.

Beat me to it. Agree with your take 100 %. Shanahan is the next to last coach?

Sometimes I read the Bleacher Report articles just to see what a make believe sports source can spew.

The B/R is a slick site that has nice graphics and seems to have quality advertisers. Other than that - it's a few steps above a "wordpress" blog written by a 17 year old.

That description almost fits the USA Today....

You wanted Bruce Coslet. Admit it.

Bring back "Cruddy Ball"!!! He can't alienate his offensive players again in his old age again can he? We would have a winner in town. Hehehe

OMG!!! MORE EVIDENCE THAT WHIZ IS THE WORST COACH IN THE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL!!!! HE HAS PICTURES OF OL MAN BIDWILL AT A NAZI ORGY, THAT'S THE ONLY REASON HE STILL HAS A JOB!!!

Seriously AZ, your obsession with Whiz is a little creepy.

 

[Stout]

With Whiz? Maybe because we won with a lot of the players that Green drafted and signed, and once they left we have tanked it with the players that Whiz has helped draft and sign?

Rats? Is that you?

Mods you may want to check the IP addresses of Rats and stout and see if he isnt violating the multiple accounts rule?

 

[conraddobler]

I have a hard time arguing with the poll.

I mean at this point we're the worst team in the league, we couldn't beat anyone right now and it's not really due to horrendous injuries or alien attacks.

He's built this team the way it is right now, that in itself is worth like negative a gillion points IMO.

 

[TJ]

Yet Green won an astounding 16 games in 3 season with "his" players

Awesome....

Whiz and Cards are Being used as the standard, on #30

Only the Bengals are currently on a worse streak than Whisenhunt's Cardinals, and whatever legitimate complaints might be made about the porous defense, the biggest reason for the nine-game Cincinnati skid is painfully clear: This team has entirely quit on Marvin Lewis.


Myself I have coaching skill sets and try to evaluate.

Loyalty: is Whiz's touted skill set, yet He has been loyal to Ex Steelers and treated Cards drafted platers like Dirt- Fitz, AW, DD are the only drafted Cards to be resigned long term in 4 years under Whiz. This after our first SB and a playoff run, They can't get out of town fast enough, and the players still here would rather save their best effort for a coach that gives a damn about them and their family. In Whiz they fear.
Fear and faith can not live in the same house.

Personell: Cut Matt after years in the system and after he outperformed all QB's on the team except KW by a mile in preseasons. Beanies still on the bench, just like Edge was. Edge was disrespected after putting 2- 1000 yard years in a row. Edge was a top 10 all time HOF RB that Q lobbied for. nobody expected Edge to sign in Arizona, and all NFL players see exactly why he should not have.

playcalling: unbalanced and predictable, whiz's claim to fame trick plays only work when a pattern has been established. In the 2008 playoffs Edges production preceded every trick play that surprised the playoff teams and resulted in big plays.

Organization, The RGC, PGC is not working. We are last in running and passing with little hope of getting better. Players go to the media and Whiz says "I wish they would have come to me first!" Q, Edge, Matt, Beanie, DD don't come to coach first for a reason. Can't seem to go to the silent coordinators or staff either. Whiz will shoot them, their family, burn their damn house down. just like Clint Eastwood on Unforgiven.

 

[Mulli]

Studesville, Singletary, Gailey, Cable?

Questionable.

If you go by this season, I can see it.

Overall, highly questionable.


EDIT: Wait, it is a power poll. No problem with ranking Whiz #32.

You beat me to it. PLus ,I would say Whiz was/is a little bit handcuffed by Graves's letting Green's top draft choices, Boldin, Dansby,and Rolle leave and replacing them the likes of Paris Lenon.

I'd agree Graves is a giant cause of the problem too and everyone gives Whiz credit for what he did getting us to the SB.

However does he look anything like that coach to you now?

Cheese had a good arguement against Matt when people would bring up his previous games where he showed some things and say so what? He's not that guy now.

Well Whiz has his nads in a jar now, dosen't go for it on 4th downs, locks up in tight situations IMO.

Just seems that people are living off past glory, which is fine but he bears little resemblance to that guy right now.

9er and Cowboy fans live off past glory also,,,,,but Cards don't have the rings they do

In order to call games in that same manner you have to have guys that you know will execute and are confident in. These players just aren't doing it for whatever reason.

An example I give is where Hightower two games ago was obviously supposed to do a flea flicker back to the QB but just ended up keeping it and getting engulfed at the LOS. Busted play on a gutsy call. All thanks to the QB who wasn't looking when Timmy turned to pitch it to him.

Whether its coaching or just particular players I don't really know. But I'm leaning towards players. The talent level of players on this team dropped off significantly this off season. That can't even be argued. It begins with the QB who is obviously the most important position on the field.

A QB who was hand picked as the coach's starter in preseason after doing nothing to win the job. Kenny W told us he wanted to play smart, disciplined, hard-nosed football. Even when the team was winning, they were none of those things.

Kurt Warner found ways to win despite having some of the most undisciplined, unintelligent players surrounding him. I was never a Warner lover, but am seeing his influence on this team. He led this team on offense and gave hope to the defense. Not Whis.

The players have no one left to motivate them now that KW, Dansby and Boldin are gone. Those were the leaders who the team rallied behind. Not saying that losing them could have been avoided, or even that I was against them going on to better things. Just that it is painfully obvious that Whis is not a motivator nor is he promoting those three things he said he would bring to this team.

Not gonna get an argument out of me. DA was a HUGE mistake no doubt. I just don't think we would really be much better if at all with Matt.

This.
It's alot easier to call plays when there is a confidence level that you can execute it. Like Shane said, even if the other 10 guys execute the play to perfection, there's a pretty good chance Anderson is going to miss the pass. Last year, the play could be executed poorly and Warner likely could still hit it.

I'd like to believe we would, but we'll never know. All we know is that this team quits, plays with negative emotion and flat out stinks.

 

[THESMEL]

not all the players, was there a decline in talent maybe, experience maybe?

But these players are not put in a position to succeed. I remember the Deuice deal this offseason, HC bashing him with all his might at several news conferances, If Deuce got hurt he was out in the cold,

guess what Deuce, Lyle, Breaston, Patrick, Hayes, THT, most of this team is not signed long term and they are quality NFL players, with SB experience.

sometimes pressure motivates sometimes it pisses a guy off. they seen what happened to matty, edge, and others!

they seen what other teams gave to Q, Rolle and Dansby!
and they see how other teams treat players. Remember the SF trip Kurt took!

I can't think of what HC treated Whiz like this as a player? Glanville?

I don't see how Whiz holding players accountable and working hard is a bad thing. There was no reason for Lutui to get up to 390. He started from game 1 so what exactly did Whiz do to him. He basically said get in shape or you're not playing. What was wrong with that? I'm sure if Leinart came in worked hard,put time into film study, and learned the playbook he would have had a different outcome with Whiz. It's not like Whiz decided, you know I don't like ML's pretty boy looks, I'm going with DA. Reputations are earned, good or bad. It's just like I don't like DRC complaining about the defensive systme and his poor play. The system does stink but that's no reason to not play to your highest ability. I like DRC but he seems to have shut it down a little bit.
