Passing game coordinator Mike Miller watches game video in his office.

As the Cardinals went through their playoff run, quarterback Kurt Warner joked a couple of times about his close relationship with offensive coordinator Todd Haley and that the two talked so often “my wife thought I was having an affair.”

Haley’s replacement, now that Haley has gone on to be head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, is former wide receivers coach Mike Miller. Perhaps, at some point, Warner will make jokes about how he and Miller communicate. Miller isn’t sure. But Miller does seem certain he will mesh well with Warner – one of the more crucial questions that arose after the team’s coaching staff shuffle following the Super Bowl.

“I’m not trying to have a relationship that he and Todd had or that he and Coach (Ken Whisenhunt) have,” Miller said. “I am going to be myself, and I want to have the best relationship I can have with Kurt.

I missed it. What happened to Maurice Carthon as RB coach?

We let him out of his contract so he could go to KC with Haley.
New guy could be decent. Did some good things with the Chiefs Rookie RB - Jamaal Charles last year. Before that he was the Georgia Tech RB coach which is why Wiz knows him since Wiz in a GT alumni. While at GT, 3 out of his 5 years he coached his RB to be the ACC's leading rusher.

That is quite the sweet gaming chair. Do coaches always wear team gear to the office?

Damn you!!! How dare you try to make sense of my failed slam on the Cardinal organization!!!

An NFL team really should be able to have wireless controllers made.

Just saying.

Passing game coordinator Mike Miller plays video games in his office.

 

[Perfectionist]

I think he looking for the button where he can call the plays.

This article makes me miss Haley for some reason... ok time to let go.

IMO the bottom line is that Mike Miller is being groomed to be the OC. Whis will call the plays and gradually turn this over to Miller as he did with Haley.
I have no problems with Haley leaving because this is Whisenhunt's team. Just as Cowher dominated the Steelers team, Whis is doing the same here. This mean that assistant coaches can come and go but the system remains in place.
