I don't really expect to hear anything until Sunday at the earliest at this point, and more realistically, not until Monday.

Sunday's early game is on Fox, with plenty of leadup, and I could imagine Fox has either begged him to keep it quiet until the broadcast and announce it there in a designated segment, or a day after so it doesn't interrupt planned coverage. Any Saturday announcement makes everyone on the broadcasting team have to scramble (my buddy works for Fox's main NFL broadcasting, so I have a solid idea of how locked in this stuff tends to be). Hell, he could also have space there to announce he's coming back to Fox.

Not that a leak would shock me, either.

Would love to see it, but I don’t think the NFL wants their Conference Championship games upstaged by a coaching hire. I don’t see it happening today, so if it happens, it’ll be Monday at the earliest. I think the Cardinals want a coach before the end of the month, which is Tuesday.

I don't buy it. If Joseph was the guy than what's the hold up? Mike Bidwill has to know that he is the worst case scenario. The fan base won't buy it and you are going to get the "same old Cards" talk.

You just invested 230 million dollars in your QB. You have the opportunity to bring in one of the best offensive minds in the game and a guy who has had success with a shorter QB. If it's not Payton the only other reason why they haven't hired a guy is the reports about Ryans were not accurate and they are waiting to interview him.

He has to make good on his "casting a wide net" speech...even if that net has a short handle that doesn't reach beyond Hardy Drive.

If they hire Vance Joseph, then he kept the net in the boat and said the bait on his bamboo pole was the catch

That would be so stupid.

As often as it’s happened over the years, we should all change our first name to Charlie. Bad enough that’s my middle name lol.

Might as well wait until March 1st... Wednesday!

Yeah just assume they hire Joseph and any other hire will make you happy....

 

[football karma]

if they end up hiring Joseph......

talk about terrible expectations management by the organization

So PFT has a piece about SP. Cardinals are mentioned as one of four who interviewed him. Then they mention the Panthers hired Reich. Then went on and on about Denver. I think they forgot the Cardinals are still in play....

 

[BritCard]

99% of the stuff online about all these coaching hires. It's nothing more than guesswork in the hope that they get it right and can say "told you".

I thought Payton was using the Cards for leverage with Denver but the fact he spent 7 hours here and there's no sign of a 2nd visit to Denver I think it's Cards or Fox.

But I don't think anyone in the media has a clue and it's all click bait.

They have two. A G5 and a Citation plus the team plane.

It’s blocked on the usual tracking websites.

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

It is appearing to me that he doesn´t want the job. If he did all he has to do is say so and I would think it is his at this point.

Either that or there is some big hurdle that the three of them can´t agree on. But that doesn´t seem likely to me.

I am starting to wonder if he will coach anywhere this year. He might think he will get a lot more if he turns down one or more teams this year and plays hard to get for a season.

 

[Jasper]

Facts so far.

1. SP interviewed other teams remotely and/or other teams came to see him in LA/NY.

2. He spend the whole day last thursday at our complex.

3. No other interviews are scheduled for SP.

4. Absolutely quiet since thursday

Either an agreement was reached before KK was fired.
Now just tying up loose ends, assembling the staff.

or

He has cold feet and wants to return to Fox

 

[imaCafan]

Will SP be in the broadcast booth this weekend? I would imagine if so he will get grilled about his plans for next season....booth, or coach????

 

[gimpy]

March 1st, What?

The challenge and opportunity to take not one, but two, perennial sad sack franchises to a Super Bowl victory is the stuff of legends imo. Returning to the Fox broadcast booth may mean that Sean Payton misses out on that opportunity.
