The HC Candidates Who Will Blow MB&SK's Socks Off

[juza76]

I know people not getting excited about Munchak but reading Jurecky tweets, he looks like a strong candidate
Seems like our organization wants to be always connected to steelers coaches

 

[sdscard4]

I like the Bettcher option. I'm really high on McCoy and having Pagano is icing on the cake.

 

[pemory09]

I’m just not getting all the McCoy love. He’s one of those coaches who will always choose to punt, even when his offense is on the other team’s side of the field. I’d be very bummed if the Cards bring him on staff.

 

[Metcalf Rules]

And apparently Haley, and his wife, will be the candidate to try an knock your teeth out.

so, he tried to hold his wife back and she pushed him down??

I dunno... never have liked this guy...this dont sound like he actually did anything but some folks just prefer to live chaotic lives..

Bring HER in! It can't hurt.

Keim isn’t wasting any time. There are 6 interviews through the weekend according to Doug & Wolf this morning.

Well...that's a good sign.
Rod Graves would have took a month off, then started trying to get phone numbers for candidates.

And he would have dialed 411 from his rotary phone, to get those numbers.

Here’s a little insight into Patricia.

Really interesting article, but it paints him as an extremely meticulous technician - the perfect assistant coach. But there is no suggestion that Patricia would be good at leading, motivating, delegating, etc. It would be great for the Cardinals to end up with an assistant on each side of the ball with the attention to detail and gift for finding patterns that Patricia has, but i am in no way sold on him as a potential HC, based on that glowing article.

An Immodest Proposal -

That the FO create a "Council of Elders" to include Tom Moore, BA, the pass rush dude and other old timers from the current coaching staff.

Objective - Provide support and wisdom to younger assistant coaches & pass down team traditions, culture and continuity.

Another underrated benefit would be the credibility they'd bring to the teaching/coaching process.

I always felt that BA's bringing in old-timers was something cool that the Cardinals did that other teams didn't. Could be a special part of the team culture long-term.

Council will here forth be called "Biscuit Bench"

What I don't get is why is Bettcher getting a chance to interview for the HC job and not Goodwin?

"Consultants"...usually very expensive

maybe because Goodwin was in charge of the oline?? Dude has not earned a shot at HC

This sounds like the Jedi version of what ASU is doing to its football program.

I'm ok with a veteran HC being hired. I saw the average tenure for HC these days is 3.2 years. I attribute that to hiring, and missing, with all these young, first time hot shot assistants that either aren't ready or just overmatched. McCoy, Chip Kelly(college), McAdoo, the turnstile in Cleveland, Joe Philbin, Gus Bradley, Jim Tomasula, Dennis Allen, Marc Trestman, Singletary, etc.

I'm also not in favor of the old retread like a John Fox or Fisher. I guess I prefer a guy who was given a shot, didn't work out for whatever reason, but has learned, gone on to success in another organization(s) and knows what he's in for this time around. The guys who the Cards are said to be interested in and fit that category are Shurmur, McDaniels, Munchak. I would throw Haley in that group but the Cards don't seem to have any interest.

The more I listen to Steve Wilks (Panthers DC), I think MB&SK will be very impressed. His 43 defense fits the Cardinals' current personnel. Would be very curious to know who his OC would be.

In terms of passion, energy and articulation, the most impressive candidates, imo, are John DeFilippo and Steve Wilks.

He has been the assistant head coach for the past 3 years. His resume doesn't scream "hot coordinator"(which is fine with me) but his presence and resume seem to fit "leader of men". Your hoping he becomes the next Mike Tomlin.

That is a problem. Large pool of castoffs and newbies to choose from. Not ideal.

Everything I've heard on national radio says switching back to a 43 would be very expensive and a 2-3 year process to get all the right peices in place

Bettcher doesn't have the gravitas to coach up Peterson and Mathieu. His defenses do not adjust well at half-time and they quickly surrender leads. He does a good job selling out for the run, but always leaves contain wide open. His zone coverages have been soft and readily beatable. He was getting a good 4 man rush. Just not enough consistency and discipline to warrant a return as DC.

Munch and Caldwell could be a formidable pair on offense. I agree.

Adjustment is something that bothers me as well. But I think Bettcher has scope to grow. What he has done in first 3 years as DC is impressive trying to fill in Bowles's shoes. I am reluctant to lose guys who have upside like Bettcher.

I watched how Stafford struggled with Caldwell prior to JBC...not a ringing endorsement as an OC IMO. Also, Mike McCoy is not good.

Yea, I don’t understand McCoy love-fest at all.
