Sad that a former player says the Cardinals won't spend the money to win...

I think they have blown that notion out of the water a couple of years ago and especially today. I am not buying that anymore.

?!?!?

Is this Bartel speaking?

Whiz was one of the 10 highest paid coaches in ANY sport, Cards used up virtually all their cap space. Anyone claiming the Cards wont pay to win is willfully ignorant to the situation.

I think he means on a coach. Also upgrades could have been done this year and were not done.

Yes Bartel says he will believe Andy Reid will cost a lot of money and he will believe it when he sees it. Said some stuff about the Organization spending money and that translating into wins.

Bartel asked for his own release. Said the writing was on the wall.

I know and am still calling bs. Whisenhunt was well paid as was his staff. Money will not be a precluding factor from the Cardinals getting the best coach possible for their team.

You don't pull a move like the one pulled today to nickle and dime the successors.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Bartel approached the organization about his release during the off season. Felt he wouldn't be given a chance to be in the mix for a job.

Asked for his release. Was told that it would happen and it would be an amicable split. When he found a team to take him, organization refused to release him.

Blames Skelton and Kolb for neither being able to win the job outright so the organization just basically stashed him on IR.

Was baited a bit and held on a string and got caught holding the bag.

Realizes he is the only QB since Warner to not get a chance to start.

 

[desertdawg]

Could have came back right when Kolb went down. Sounds pretty bitter about it, but not hyperbully style.

Well, then Bartel is a dope. Whiz was paid a ton, Grimm had a very high salary.

9th highest paid coach in ALL sports, 6th highest paid in the NFL... and higher paid than Andy Reid.

And unless he is going to resurrect Jim Johnson from the grave I dont want Andy Reid anywhere near this team. Gross. I'd rather have kept Whiz.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Cardinals would have to pay all that Salary plus Reid's salary.

It isn't an even exchange.

Really sounds like he blames the organization for our problems, not Whis.

If they were that concerned about the one year salary hit from Whiz in relation to their future coach then they wouldnt have fired Whiz in the first place. Any concern about money and the coaching staff is completely unfounded and really contradicts the reality we have seen in recent years.

True that, he said Whiz is a good coach, and I don't think he was lying in his opinion.

Commercial now, no new updates. I am going to old town for dinner and some drinks so I am TOTALLY OUT (for a couple hours).

This interview is depressing me anyway.

I wouldnt take too much to heart about what one dude with an axe to grind has to say. Especially when he will almost never have this soapbox again.

They only pay all of that if those guys don't get jobs this season. If those guys all get jobs with other teams whatever money they get paid elsewhere will be taken off of how much the Cardinals owe.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Crazy to hear that the system is actually really easy to learn, but the QB struggles had a lot more to do with the lack of player development.

 

[gamebird98]

Doesnt sound like Bartel and Skelton will be exchanging Christmas gifts anytime soon.

Didn't seem like he was calling out Skelton, but more so the coaching staff.

 

[D-Dogg]

Bartel is actually decent on the radio. Could he please, please, PLEASE replace bickley? I might listen to the show.

I about fell down when he said the system was easy to learn. Then laughed and said "figures" when he said they didn't coach anyone on how to perform in it, improve, develop.

I pictured Whis handing a playbook saying "dude, it's SIMPLE...wtf is wrong with you? Read the book and perform!" No wonder why he was always so adamant about the system...but even a simple system will suck if you don't actually coach the damn players up.

Exactly. He complimented JS..saying he has all the tools including the smarts but they didn't develop him.

Pretty hard to do when the HC is benching them every other play for petty crap.

 

[DeAnna]

so what did he say

Bartel offered this gem: "You don't know until you know, ya know?"

 

[BullheadCardFan]

MJ just said Ariens interested in coming to AZ? dont see that.

Arians might be an interesting coach to bring in. He did real well with the Colts this year.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Kurt Warner is deserving of all the credit he receives for the Cardinals success.

O Line not addressed for years and that is why Warner left.

Sounds like the truth to me.
