Sarkisian will not be Cards OC

Steve Sarkisian is unlikely to be joining Kliff Kingsbury’s staff as offensive coordinator for the #AZCardinals, sources say. That’s the way it looks as of now anyway. The team has spoken to a few candidates, including former #Giants HC Ben McAdoo, as @JordanRaanan said.

I have no idea if this has been a good offseason or not.

Nobody will know until we play some games and get to see how KK's offense performs.

 

[NittanyCard]

Thank god.

Hated seeing his play calling at Alabama and Falcons took multiple steps back with him replacing Shanahan

Can't see how it will be worse than last year.

Could Kubiak be an option?

Would be awesome. Partially depends if he wants to call the plays though since that isn't happening here.

I think so. He turned Denver down.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Not upset about Sark not being here.

Honestly don't think it matters, get some young, hungry, creative guys that don't mind grinding it out and roll the offense. Maybe Kiem can get Caldwell to come in as a senior consultant type, the way Arians used Pratt and Moore.

It’s spelled Keim

Not sure who they will go after but I do like McAdoo. Good experience and was also a HC.

The OC will be a glorified position coach. A big name like him isn't coming here to let kk call the plays

isnt Kubiak a pretty dogmatic Mike Shanahan offense devotee -- zone blocking schemes, etc?

Looks like hes decided to ride Sabans coattails again to try to rebuild his rep.

Maybe we weren't sold on the lack of NFL experience, he had 1 year as a QB coach and 2 years as an OC.

Maybe the prudent move is to bring in an NFL lifer, who will be able to leverage experience to adapt CKK's playbook and concepts.

***Edit: based on the tweet above, sounds like Sark is more comfortable coaching in college.

To take it a step further - contrary to reports - Steve Sarkisian was never offered the Offensive Coordinator position with the Arizona Cardinals.

I could see that but IMO it has been a very good offseason to date. Draft will be the exclamation point

Yes Sark but he wasn't exactly on the upswing either. OC here is a great job because people will give you at least some credit for the success and if it fails it is all on KK. Not sad about this though.

I think one of KKs biggest weakest is just not having the NFL cred and connections to really bring his own staff together that are all on the same page and not figuring it all out as they go. We will see how it works out, but with BA you see when he took the job he brought a solid staff with him. This was probably one of the big selling points in him landing the job. Bottom line is if KK can't deliver a great offense I don't see how his hire will be viewed as a success.

First smart move since firing Wilks

 

[Praxis]

Hire Jake Spavital and draft David Sills!

Thank god.

That didn’t matter at all since Kingsbury will be calling the plays.

I thought I read somewhere (can’t remember where) that Elway wanted to hire a more new-school innovative play caller, and also that Kubiak wanted to bring some coaches along with him.
