Next head coach?

[TheCardFan]

Ah yes - Mike McDaniel vs Josh McDaniels

I am referring to Mike and I believe @DVontel is as well.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

He had a winning record and made the playoffs twice. The Bears at that time were about as dysfunctional as us.

He got to the playoffs with Trubiscuit! Let that sink in. They were a double doink away from winning their WC game against the Eagles.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

I think it's safe to say that anybody not currently on a staff who hasn't been interviewed or scheduled an interview aren't being considered.

Like Gannon, who kinda came out of nowhere?

I don't remember the Gannon timing but I do remember them getting in trouble over it.

 

[Proteus]

My point was I believe their primary interest lies in a candidate that is still in the playoffs and the ones they've already interviewed are back-ups. At no point did I say they were good at this.

So far we've interviewed two candidates whose teams are still in the playoffs, Vance Joseph and Klint Kubiak. We interviewed them both on Saturday.

I think you're underestimating the size of these guys egos.

I think your underestimating the size of these guys brains.

Wilks career took a major hit after coming here. Kliff had to go back to college as an offensive assistant. JG will likely struggle to get a DC job this cycle.

With options on the table why would anyone pick the one with 3 teams in the top 4 in the NFC? And one with a huge question mark at QB?

 

[DVontel]

He got to the playoffs with Trubiscuit! Let that sink in. They were a double doink away from winning their WC game against the Eagles.

Did HE do that or was it a great defense driving it with Fangio?

 

[BritCard]

I mean, this sounds good in theory however you’re talking about one of 32 jobs in the entire world one of the 32 most prestigious even if it is “just the Cardinals”

A job that if you take will set your family up for wealth far beyond what a typical coordinator makes(average of 1 million league wide) even on a cardinal HC salary of approx 7,000,000(league average)

And it’s still Arizona, which has a huge draw for climate affordability, etc.

There’s gonna be plenty of candidates more than willing to take the job. Sure not your Jim Harbaugh’s but finding a list of up and comers or re treads that’s willing to try to take on the job in this division isn’t gonna be short.

Sure, someone will take it, but that someone will be someone without any other options.

Why would you take this job, with 3 of the top 4 teams in the NFC and question marks at QB, if you had other teams interested in you?

 

[BritCard]

Yep!!! The Bidwill family has been guilty of this for decades. But, you’ll never get most of the people on this board to agree with you. I agree though. Just more of the wash, rinse, repeat the Bidwills have shoved down my throat for the past 62 years. He promised us a different approach when he hired JG. He lied….AGAIN!

It would have made more sense to change Petzing and give JG one more year KNOWING the state of the division and the situation at QB.

Either JG turns it around, or we're picking high next year in a much deeper QB class (and generally better draft class). And with the situation with Kyler cleared up.

That's much more attractive for a candidate. Now we have the toughest division in football, a mess a QB and a poor candidate pool. We likely lock in a no hoper that they won't move on from for 3 years and then we burn it all down and start again.

I think every coach at this level thinks they can "fix" the Cardinals given the chance.

 

[azgreg]

So far we've interviewed two candidates whose teams are still in the playoffs, Vance Joseph and Klint Kubiak. We interviewed them both on Saturday.

That's two, they've also requested interviews with both of McVey's coordinators.

They may very well think that and know going in the organization is schizophrenic most of the time, but it is one of 32, for a lot more money than most were making as a coordinator, and if they get canned in a few years they still get paid. Most would sign up for that if offered

I am actually not frustrated that they have not brought him in. I think he would be a huge scoop as an offensive coordinator, but I am not a big fan of him as a head coach. A combination of him and Saleh has been my favorite from the start, and I still think it could be amazing.

Another thing I find interesting is that only the Raiders have brought Mike LaFleur in, other than the Cards. You could argue that they are a more interesting destination than Cardinals, but you could certainly also argue the other way. Obviously, several other teams can step in and interview him in the coming days.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

#9 offense...#1 defense. So maybe both?

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Saw that Harbaugh is only interviewing with the Falcons and Giants.

Yeah multiple national guys have said that Harbaugh would never interview here. He wants complete control of the roster and he just will never get that with Michael in the picture.

It takes two to tango. We have zero knowledge if the Cards have inquired or not for some of these guys, since they are unemployed there isn't a team that needs to report it.

So you're telling me AZ isn't the only team he doesn't want to coach?

You are correct, but often it is their agents that break it to national insiders. It is obviously in their interest that their clients seem as attractive as possible.

 

[QuebecCard]

He has only been a HC once, has a winning record, and 2 out of 4 years in the playoffs.

My mistake, I was thinking of JOSH.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

The nerve on that Harbaugh, thinking he knows more than our precious Failson!

And possibly the eventual OC depending on the HC.

I think this is a decent list so far. There are some names that I still might like to see but who knows.
