Rowen Out As OC/ Replaced by Mike Kruczek

[conraddobler]

Maybe they need a quality control department.

Someone to point out stuff, this weeks 10 page memo on why Ross sucks.

Next week we break down how Step might be the worst center of all time and he still gets a check.

Update: It was Rowen and the QB coach takes over

 

[vinnymac]

rowen out who is next. i dont' think anybody going to get cut. they will be demoted. i feel if rackers misses another game winning field goal he is out of here. ross misses another block like he did, then it won' be long before he is out of here. the cardinals are going to be active in free agentcy this offseason to get some offensive line in here. the offensive line fate is decided already. half the players on this roster fate is already decided imo. it is time to put this game behind us and start getting ready for hte raidiers. it going to be a nice week to see no trolls on this week board.

QB Coach wasn't fired. Check the other threads.

 

[BillsCarnage]

whoops, just saw the sticky... delete this thread.

Green fires Rowen

My bad, did not see the post above.

Urban was just on ESPN and called this a "move just to make a move". He said Denny is desperate to turn it around and felt he had to do something.

One thing I think this DOES, which would've been harder had Rowen stayed as OC, it makes clear that Leinart will be the focal point of the offense now, not Edge.

I disagree with this. A couple of weeks ago, he was already upset with the playcalling, and had taken over playcalling for at least part of the game.

something wrong with that?

 

[ajcardfan]

Not at all. I think doing nothing would've been much more questionable.

 

[GreenCard]

Was it Keith Rowen that helped build the KC OL and KC would not let Rowen take the OL job for the Cards?Maybe this is a way to get him to help with the OL.

Urban and Somers really don't care for Green. Urban isn't as overt as Somers, but he's not going to spin anything in Green's favor. (Not that he should when the team is 1-5. But, these same guys showed sympathy for McGinnis right up until the end.)

Kruczek was head coach at Central Florida and helped develop Daunte Culpepper when he was there. Had one of best offensives in the country.

Unlike Rowen, Kruczek will call the plays from the field.

“He’ll call the plays from the sidelines,” confirmed Green. “I’ll help him, like I do with (Defensive Coordinator) Clancy (Pendergast) in any possible way I can.”


I like this. I think its better for a young QB like Leinart to have the OC on the sideline where he can be face to face with him rather than up in the booth.

Agreed.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Agreed.

I don't - the less Leinart has to actually talk to this horrific coaching the staff the better.

 

[conraddobler]

I think this is all a shell game to try and hide the big fat 10 legged elephant in the room, our rebuilt and retooled O line.

I realize someone had to go, I don't think Rowen did as much as I'd hoped but to lay this on him while vaugely correct misses the bigger issues dressed as Cardinal players.

At this point of the season there is not much more that you can do. We are stuck with the OL for this season. We all know that Denny is on the hot seat and needs a miracle to survive.

 

[vinnymac]

green will get canned if this team doesn't start winning. the cardinals are going to need to practically win all his game to keep his job.

I'm in a very weird spot, again, like I said the destiny of this thing is to avoid saving DG's job and then get the perfect coach, I have no idea how that' going to happen but if DG keeps his job, I'm back in the depressed mode.

I firmly believe that you build this franchise right around Matt and our WR's, an Oline would be a stunningly good idea but after that it's about being smarter than other teams.

I don't trust DG to be that guy and I want him gone, with Matt too much is at stake, we need brainpower badly, with that and what I mentioned above we are a Super Bowl contender.

I think we all agee with you on building the team around Leinart. We seem to have a solid defense now and the playmakers on offense. We also all know that the OL is a big problem. I know you feel that Denny must go but how do you feel about Graves??? Is he part of the problem or just following whatever the Bidwill's want and going along with Denny's player wishes??
