This curse crosses my mind a few times each season. Of course, it pales in comparison to the curse of who owns (and runs) this team.

There's no such things as curses in professional sports, just bad owners.

That’s pretty damning. If you can’t right the ship even twice in a 9 game span, in year 3 and it’s occurred before - welp - this just isn’t your time or place.

Watching the Suns turnaround this year definitely has me believing that coaching makes a huge differences in wins/losses. We've never had a winning record under Gannon nor have we sniffed the playoffs. We're sitting in year 3 at this point, unbelievable he's still our head coach.
Any serious considerations to replace Gannon.
Mike Lefluer?
Klint Kubiak?
Klay Adams?
I like the idea of raiding our division opponents staff.

same goes for the Sun Devils. They've been destroyed by injuries and came into the year having lost their best player (and one of the best in the country) to graduation and they still battled thru adversity to be sitting here with a chance o go 9-3 on the season, with multiple wins against ranked teams (at the time they played them).

I have a close friend who’s from Pottsville & those people still hold a grudge against the Cardinals. Always will. They pass that grudge on from generation to generation. I’ve been following the Cardinals since 1964 & have been saying since the 70’s that they’re a cursed franchise. The ball has been bouncing against them for over 60 years. What could go wrong, has gone wrong, and at the worst possible times. After all the years of watching them, I FIRMLY believe it’s a curse.Have you heard of the Pottsville Curse

@PACardsFan - Wow, that’s heavy. I think a priest could possibly lift the Pottsville curse.

The Bears hire Ben Johnson and turn it around in year one.
The Jags hire Liam Coen and turn it around in year one.
The Patriots hire Mike Vrabel and turn it around in year one.
The Cardinals hire Jonathan Gannon and are 3-8 in year three.
When you hire the right coach, it doesn't take four plus seasons to win.

Yes. People were mad and felt Payton turning around the Broncos in a year, Harbaugh turning the Chargers into a playoff team in a year was somehow unsustainable. Winning builds its own momentum. You can’t build a foundation for success on losing/indifference to winning.
But you and your family can bank a ton of cash when public builds you a stadium.

Yup. The Bidwills can’t eat equity so they have to distribute returns to the family.
Still living paycheck to paycheck is sad. Poverty franchise

You just know that all the injuries will be used as an excuse to run it back with most of the same coaching staff.

it shouldn't. Kliff didn't get that kind of rope and he was coming off at least two .500 or better seasons before his catastrophic 4th season.

Which one?!
Every game there are just MIND-BOGGLING decisions, usually a multitude of them, coming in the most important moments of the game. And they have almost ALWAYS ended up wrong this season. Say whatever you want about talent or lack of talent on the team, but the decision making itself has literally been a season’s worth of all the wrong the moves to boot.

They can’t if they don’t go 2-4 or better down the stretch. I don’t care if there are injuries. You can’t finish the season 2-15 and say you’re building toward something good.
We’ve had a five-game losing streak and could be in the midst of another. Can’t say that zero percent of that is coaching.
Whether you agree with this or not, this is exactly what’s going to happen.
The o-line coach should be cut as well as our special team coach.
That’s the most that’s going to happen.
Nope, but 3-14 does. That's why we ridin that wave into next year baby, woo.
