Bidwill is cleaning house assuming they blow the division and go out in the first weekend. Not even friendship justifies two meltdowns in a row like this.
You’re dreaming. Bluto ain’t going anywhere and they’ll lame duck Stiff and sacrificial lamb VJ.

So you think they’ll keep Kliff too? That’s just blind owner hate.. They canned Wilkes after one season and he’ll be off the books next year. Bidwill hires the HC’s and Keim puts together their staffs. Both have failed but only one is expendable.

It’s fair to say Keim is not good at running the draft. I also think and said at the time, he selected a poor coach. However he also got Arians. He’s done a good job with FAs. Keep in mind Hudson, Conner, Pugh, Watt (predictable) and Hopkins didn’t play last night. He’s made excellent trades. I think this was a solid roster, better than several Cardinal teams I‘ve seen. That said, I agree it’s time for a change. Whatever the reason, this regime has not produced a solid contender in most seasons.

Yup. I think we’ll prob struggle, but beat Seattle then lose in the playoffs and if we even come close to making that a game it will give the Bidwills enough cover not to have to admit total failure with Kliff, because admitting that also means Keim must go too. I just don’t see them eating both of those contracts or admitting the Keim thing was long overdue at this point.

VJ is sacrificial lamb and that’s it.

VJ is gone unless Cardinals reach NFC championship game. I don't know of VJ is the problem but he got the least leverage on this staff.

Steve Keim will not be fired for another decade..for what's it worth Keim elevated same ol Cardinals incompetence to Cincinnati Bengals level incompetence. Bidwill sees it as improvement and business is good. Why can a GM over petty things like winning playoff games?

Agree that VJ will be gone

But the real question is who will they bring in to replace him?

Someone with a lot simpler system to learn that frees up players to use their skills?

Kliff is in last year with Cardinals. I doubt any aspiring candidates will take the job so it will be Buckner I assume.
