The Official "Fire Coach Ken Whisenhunt" Thread

[az jam]

The guy I really want gone is Graves. Worst GM in the NFL.

 

[Fitz Rulz]

A new mentality is needed.
Thanks for the good memories Whiz. Oh I meant Warner.

 

[iLLmatiC]

I don't believe it will happen, but it needs to. We just finished the easy part of the schedule. Things will likely get even uglier.

I've never seen a management group tear apart a team so thoroughly in such a short amount of time. The players look frustrated, the talent is weak and we don't really have a strength on either side of the ball. Plus, Whis has shown very little in the area of player development.

Pittsburgh West has failed miserably. It's time to find a new identity with a new regime.

If you follow the Suns you would have.

 

[Cards_Campos]

Bloom and Henrickson (sp) are just throwing gas on the fire in a way that I never hear on Cardinal Talk. Things are getting ugly out there.

Tell me more. I dont live in Ariozna. Is the media finally getting fed up too?

Our problems with the team, IMO, is O Line and OLB.

Hold the people accountable for those personnel decisions.

At least it's real Football.

This team DID NOT COMPETE.

That is the earmark of a Whisenhunt coached team.

Michael Bidwill needs to respond in some way. Personally I have seen enough of Whiz.

What will they tell the fans now?

What kind of a message does it send to his own offense when down 28-0 and finally across midfield at the end of the first quarter faced with a 4th a 5 that the HC elects to punt the ball and put the gassed defense back on the field?

Then the decision to kick a 52 yard field goal.

Then the decision to try his best to mess up another end of a half by calling TOs when the Vikings are moving the ball.

Then the no decision to challenge Roberts' or Beanie's 1st down conversion attempts---at that point, down by 21, what does he have to lose. A timeout?

It goes on and on with this coach.

Worst of all---the decision to leave Levi Brown on an island with Jared Allen. Perpetual madness.

All good points but not challenging the first down was ridiculous. That was the game there or any slim chance we had of coming back was gone.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Negative. You started a thread 2 years ago when there was still faith and hope in CKW.

Don"t let facts get in the way of a good argument.

Whiz needs to go. Two and one and you DON'T run Beanie and lineup for the shotgun instead? Seriously?

There is a reason the Steelers didn't want him. Sadly, we are learnin why.

What does this say to the players when the coach gives up?

Plus---Whiz already told the media that he recovers faster from embarrassing losses like this one than by close losses (that he says linger longer). What does that tell you about his mentality as a coach?

Maybe the players tried to take it easy on him this week.

Here's a quote from last week's press conference,"I know that from watching tape. I know we've lost three games (in a row) by a total of eight points. They're still losses and don't think I'm happy with that".

He doesn't know if he's happy about losing, what a joke...

 

[Jetstream Green]

Watching this team at the moment is like watching someone trying to drive stick for the first time, this coaching staff seems not to have a pulse on what can and can't be done and nothing comes smooth for them

 

[az1965]

So who do we bring in as coach?

Doesn't matter were stuck with this crap for the next two years.

 

[Jetstream Green]

that is a good question, because nobody really comes to mine that would be available

The FG is the only one that anyone can justify. Everything else is pure horse crap of a decision. This game alone should get him fired.

I say Gruden, Fisher, Cowher, heck I would bring in Eddie Murphy..We would still be less comical.

 

[az1965]

I shiver with any Pittsburg connections anymore

 

[Cards_Campos]

And coaching matters. The 49ers did nothing!!! And we all here were laughing how they wanted Luck. Now they are one of the best teams in the NFC and have the exact same team they did last year. Coaching matters.

Plus...people fear them---they hit you. Think any team fears the Cardinals?

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Should've fired him when they lost TO SEATTLE.!

 

[john h]

I honestly think if this season ends 6-10 or worse he will be gone...and 6-10 or worse really looks likely at this point.

I seriously doubt we can win 10 games. We have only one real back. A marginal at best QB, a couple of decent lineman, an all pro receiver, our coaches are not up to the job, and our GM has been bad from day one.

To realize what a QB means to a team take a look at the Colts who were 0-4 going into today. With Manning there they were a consistent Superbowl threat. Sort of like when Warner was here. If you have no decent QB you cannot compete in the NFL. I know some of you support Kolb but he simply and clearly is not getting it done so far. For a basic rookie we gave up the house and bought into all the kolb hype.

Do we start him all year regardless? I do not know the answer to that because we gave up so much for him. If after 10 games we are still playing this bad then we need to see if we have any hope of a QB on this team so we know what to draft next year. The bad teams, except for us are turning into the good teams this year.

It is going to be a long year for all of us.
