The Cards want to interview Mike Munchak.

If anyone is building around Eli, they need their head examined.
As for the qb situation it can be a tricky thing. HCs have egos and want to pick their guys. Having a qb in place can be just as big a detriment for some as a recruiting tool for others. For example, if a coach doesn't think trubisky is a franchise qb then they arent going to Chicago

Also depends on the offense. If the good young QB has never played in a system like the potential coach runs, it might not look so rosy of a situation for the coach.

My only comment is do NOT hire a Patriots assistant. in general they have not done well which points to a few things, Belichick and Brady are the guys that make that team so good, not the assistants. Also, as McDaniels proved in Denver, a big part of the success in NE is based on the breaking of rules philosophy they have, Denver's owner and GM were so embarassed that McDaniels got caught cheating so soon after taking the job, they couldn't wait to get rid of him.
He's more experienced now but there's no reason to believe he's going to be good without a QB and frankly that's true of just about anybody we hire, so why hire someone with a proven history of breaking the rules?

What did he do to cheat?

Comments by NFLN round tablers seem to indicate that the Michael B and Steve K regime is solid and well-respected

Munchak was asked to fire some assistants at Tenessese to keep his head coaching job. He refused and was let go. So he is a great character guy. And just like BA, he will be loyal to a fault.
Munchak may be the best OL coach in NFL. Has HC experience. And can pull in top assistants.
I am intrigued by Munchak.

How good are your assistants, if you're asked to fire them?
Vance Joeseph can tell you that answer.

Whoever the coach/qb combo is fans need to be prepared for a couple of years of potential NFCW door mat.

All over NFLN today: AZ is sixth best option of the six openings because of the QB situation.

Not the NFLN I was watching. Michael Silver and Maurice Jones-Drew said it was maybe the 2nd best after NYG and maybe the best. Don't know what you were watching.

Charley Casserly said it multiple times on their Aftermath coverage throughout midday, with other talking heads agreeing.
I find it hard to believe that the FO doesn't have some kind of plan for this eventually. We fans may not like the how the plan works out in the short term but I doubt we're going into next season with the likes of Blaine Gabbert under center.

I’d agree, but if the plan was Eli, the Giants may have something to say about it. If the plan is offloading boatloads of draft picks to move up, a new coach may be wary of a bare cupboard. It will be the most fascinating offseason to watch unfold.
I could totally be off base here but I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that Palmer is done, a new coach notwithstanding. Fitz either for that matter.

Yeah, but long term they won’t be around like some stars on other teams with vacancies.

They caught him in Denver videotaping a SF 49er practice.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...aniels-50000-each-for-videotaping-infraction/
The guy who did the taping had been caught violating NFL rules with the Pats years earlier, something McDaniels knew all about. The NFL did say McDaniels was offered a chance to watch the video of the practice and declined, but he got fined anyways because he didn't immediately report the infraction to the NFL as required.
The Broncos were furious because they'd been very careful during the interview process with McDaniels to make sure that there wasn't going to be anything like that, they'd apparently also initially been hesitant to let him hire Scarnechia the guy who did the taping, but they relented after McDaniels vouched for him.
Both the Broncos and McDaniels were fined 50K, there were reports the Broncos strongly considered terminating his contract for cause but didn't.
Do you think it would help to have them around to help their respective replacements acclimate to the NFL game? Not that they'd especially like or agree to being lame duck players. Fitz has records to chase, Palmer may not want to go out the way he did.. When they say it ain't about the money, it's about the money.. Etc
Who are we bringing in for the Rooney rule?
Is that still in effect?

Per Rooney Rule Cards will also most likely interview their own OC Harold Goodwin.
This guy kind of intrigues me from Mitch's list, Pete Carmicheal (NO OC). My only question about him is he calling the plays or is Peyton calling the plays? I would only be interested in Carmicheal if he is doing most of the game planning week to week for the Saints. He certainly has done a very nice job in NO using Kamara and Ingram and developing a running game next to none in the NFL. The offense went from primarily a passing attack to a nice mix of run and pass. The Cardinals have the RBs in place to grow a similar run game as NO.
I also get the large number of interviews of NE assistants. There is no doubt that Keim and Bidwill are looking to build a similar structure as they have in NE and are hoping to find the one assistant from NE that can become the next Belichick. I think they want to find a mainstay for years to come and not have to replace a HC every few years or so.

Things have changed.
Todd Haley makes a lot of sense. He has been both a HC and successful OC. He has ties to AZ, so that either makes him the inside favorite or he won't be considered (depending on his relationships).
The questions are what has he learned since the KC job and what kind of leader would he be in AZ? Does anyone know if he is considered a strong game plan coach (can he-out coach others and does he make adjustments based on match-ups/personnel, etc)?
