Something about casting a wide net rings a bell.
Lol… perfect plan. Our guy is right there for the taking after 3 weeks of casting a wide net and where our 1st choice went off the board. So let’s take even more time because then another team could take our 2nd choice while we continue searching… even though our 2nd choice is sitting there for us.
Lol… it would be a rush to hire a guy… AFTER THREE WEEKS OF SEARCHING.
I can paint a better picture for you, too...Given the BFlo lawsuit, if the Cardinals, or any team for that matter, runs right out and hires him, the optics would just be "well they only did it because of the lawsuit"...We even saw reports of that, when his name came up, with guys like Florio pointing out the obvious legal advantages of Mike hiring Flores. However, if they actually take their time and exhaust all realistic HC options (so far I haven't seen them interested in anyone that would just be a fluff interview) and hire BFlo, a real argument can be made he was the best man for the job. Because Mike really liked him back in 2018, it's doubtful they even need a 2nd interview this time around.
If this team really is thinking Flores is their guy, maybe it might want to consider why no one else has sniffed around him… or why we’re continuing to sniff everywhere outside of him.
Kafka would piss me off more.
I'm not on fire for Kafka, but his resume seems pretty decent. You can argue he's more qualified, or at least as qualified as Eric Bienemy. Being QB coach for Mahomes, there's no questioning his actual role in the offense. He's actually done what Bienemy needs to do...break from Reid in order to get the next promotion.
Like I've mentioned, I'll give anyone who's name doesn't rhyme with Vance Joseph a shot. To be honest, I'd rather have a different DC, though. Whoever it is, I'm all for Lincoln Riley's brother (OC at TCU) to come in and work with Kyler...there should be some familiarity.
It's wild how you can reach right out of my phone and punch me in my face like that
And let’s not forget that our Assistant GM came from the Lions too. When we hired MO, Bidwill did sound like it was his ultimate goal to create a franchise that stood the test of time. A team that could win over much longer stretches of time than what this franchise has ever been able to do. I still think that Payton didn’t fit that mindset. Payton would have been like BA, in that his decisions would provide very quick results. And once that window slammed shut, we would be back in a similar position that BA left us in. Could it be Glenn? Who knows. Hell it could be any of these guys & it would seem to better fit what MB & MO want to do here. Bidwill may say we’re not in a rebuild, but we almost have to be. The system he wants to build will not happen overnight. Doesn’t mean we can’t be a better TEAM than last year, but like the Lions under Campbell, it could take a couple years to see actual results from a win/loss standpoint.
So you'd be ok with Vance Joseph as the new HC? He's well respected throughout the league.
Whoever the HC is, if he's given a trash roster like Wilks and comes up with 3 or 4 wins in year one, is Mike going to give him year 2?
I am not saying I agree with the Vance Joseph part or the scenario as a whole in who I would want to hire for the positions, but it has as much logic as any other prediction and plausible
The only way I would want VJ has HC is if someone else ran their own defensive philosophy. Just assume he manage the game and let coordinators do the calls. But I hope it never comes to that
You're so agreeable.
What a compelling and original vision for an NFL franchise.
Unless there are fisticuffs in the locker room like under Buddy Ryan, our next HC will be given at least 2 years & probably more. I’m not saying that Wilks had a good roster, but his ineptitude was worse than KK’s. We went 3-13 and 2 of our wins were against a Niners team that had more injuries that year than any team I have ever seen. And we lucked out winning both of those games. And our 3rd win was against a Packer team that had thoroughly quit on McCarthy. Packers dropped like 3 easy pick 6’s in the 2nd half.
Not sure what point you’re trying to make? I’m not sure this franchise has ever had a long term vision. Under BASK, they loaded up on vets that we hoped would get us over the hump. Almost did. Then the window slammed shut. BA is a very good coach so that 8-8 the last 2 years was misleading. Most Cardinal coaches would have only won 4-5 games those 2 years. I wasn’t bashing BA at all, just saying that he was 60 years old & wanted a roster that at best would hold up for 3 years. I don’t think that’s what MB wants moving forward.
