There are too many things lining up that point to Arians being the guy to take over the Browns next year.
Sadly, for Cards fans, he'll likely have a lot of success with a very similar staff he had while in Arizona.

Point 1-There's a report out that says Kitchens is going to be OC regardless of the new HC. Kitchens was groomed by Arians and BA has said he's going to cede play calling duties if he took the job. I'm sure Arians would have no problem with Kitchens calling plays and they have a great relationship. May not be the case with another HC that is hired.

Point 2- what coach has a better rep, warranted or not, with developing a young QB than Arians. Baker's development is going to be priority #1 for the next HC in Cleveland. Plus, you'd have to think Mayfield's and Arians personalities are a perfect mesh.

Point 3- Famous Amos is already on the staff and we know what BA thinks of him.

Point 4- Bowles gets canned and BA hires him to run the defense. Any new HC isn't likely to want to keep the former HC on staff. Bowles is a ready proven replacement.

These all look like indicators that BA has a great shot to be the next HC in Cleveland.

BA doesn't want to be here or he would be saying he wants to come back (still under contract).

I don't blame him for wanting to make one last statement in his career...turning around the Browns would be an exclamation point.

Arians won 1 playoff game and only went to the playoffs twice. 3 times if you count filling in at Indy. Not exactly Bill Belichick here. Whiz was more successful. Should we bring him back?

Shoot if it means canning Wilks I’d go for it. Whiz is a pretty decent offensive mind and works really well with pocket passers.

The Chargers look great right now

I would hope so. They have a HOF QB and some of the best talent on offense in the NFL.

Think about the offense he had with us...Kurt Warner, Edgerrin James, Fitz and Boldin in their prime. All 4 HOF players?

He may be a good OC with HOF talent but he is a terrible HC. No thanks!

Terrible is certainly debatable.

If my memory serves correctly, BA hates Greg Williams. I wouldn’t dismiss the possibility that BA is doing and saying all this because he is trying to hurt Greg Williams.

6 seasons overall. 4 with winning records and only one losing season. Not to mention he took over a colts team coming off a 2 win season and led them to the playoffs and then took the cardinals from 5 to 10 wins in his first season here in what may have been the best division ever in 2013. Crazy that we've come to criticizing the best coach the cardinals have had in AZ by far especially with what we're left with now.

He'll coach 8-9 games, looking red as a tomato roaming the sidelines, then mysteriously retire mid-season.

If so that points to BA being pushed out by Michael

I still say watch out for a Lincoln Riley/Baker the Touchdown Maker reunion :mrgreen:. This would be the perfect time if he’s interested in the NFL

I wouldn't exactly say that Edgerrin James was in his prime during his years in AZ???

Terrible HC??? If Brenda Warner kept her mouth shut, Kurt would have played 2 more years & we may have seen another SB under Whiz. In my long history as a Cardinal fan, he's still the best HC we ever had. Coryell was 0-2 in the playoffs for a 70's team that had tons of talent. It'll be a cold day in hell before another Cardinal HC surpasses Whiz's playoff record here.

I've been saying that for months that MB pushed BA out & it was MB that pulled the trigger on SW. Keim had zilch to do hiring Wilks. Everyone is guessing as to whether Keim gets fired. Hell, Keim won't stay if he doesn't select our next HC.

Because it will be a cold day in hell before we have 4 HOF fame players on offense in their prime on the roster at the same time again.

How did he do in Tennessee?
