Green tapping former Viking assistants to fill staff

New Cardinals coach Dennis Green has been busy the past two days interviewing candidates for his staff, and at least two positions appear to be filled.

Cincinnati receivers coach Alex Wood, who was at the Cardinals' Tempe facility Tuesday, is the leading candidate to become the offensive coordinator, and former Vikings strength and conditioning coach Steve Wetzel has been hired for the same position in Arizona.

Bob Rogucki, the Cardinals' strength and conditioning coach the past 14 seasons, was informed Monday morning that his contract would not be renewed. He is one season short of qualifying for his NFL pension.

Green, who coached the Minnesota Vikings from 1992 to 2001, declined to comment on specific candidates.

The staff will be composed of coaches with different backgrounds, Green said, including people who have worked for him before. "All of them will be good teachers," he said.

Among those expected to join the staff are Richard Solomon and Carl Hargrave, who coached defensive backs and running backs, respectively, under Green in Minnesota.

The Cardinals also have interest in Kansas City tight ends coach Keith Rowen as the team's offensive line coach. Rowen coached the Vikings offensive line from 1994-96.

Wood played running back at Iowa when Green was the running backs/receivers coach and he coached quarterbacks for the Vikings from 1999 to 2002. He was a college coach for 21 years prior to joining the Vikings, including four seasons as the head coach at James Madison, where he compiled a 23-22 record.

In Minnesota, Wood tutored quarterback Daunte Culpepper.

In Cincinnati this year, Wood's starting receivers had career years in every category. Chad Johnson is starting in the Pro Bowl with 90 catches and an AFC-leading 1,355 yards. He scored 10 touchdowns. Peter Warrick caught 79 passes and had seven touchdown receptions.

ESPN analyst Sean Salisbury interviewed this week for the Cardinals quarterbacks coaching position, but there's no indication yet if he will take the job.

Kirby Wilson, former running backs coach with Tampa Bay, and Pete Rodriguez, former special-teams coach with Seattle, also interviewed for jobs this week.

He should be able to get one more year on an NFL team.

Telling the truth that he was the Cards strength coach may not be a good thing.

As great as the Bengals receivers were this year, I think Jerry Sullivan did once heckuva job with us. Wish we'd kept him in that capacity.

Agreed and there were some other good people on the staff.

But we were well past due for a total house cleaning

Thats too bad for him, but this is business. I don't want a coach that will keep someone for another year to be "nice". I'm glad that Green is running this team like a business. It's about time someone did.


All in all, everything I read is fantastic! Sounds like we will finally be getting a real staff in here. Guys that have real experiance and guys who know how to teach and have had success elsewhere. These are HUGE steps. I couldn't be happier. Green is really on the ball and not wasting any time at all. He's been making great moves thus far.
