I am sold on the Air Raid offense and a solid DC as the future.

I could go with this.. But only as coordinators with an even keeled head coach to oversee the system. Caldwell?? Ahh, forget it. Stupid.

Sure there's conjecture. There's conjecture in everyone's posts about coaches, who they like, who they want, etc. Every journalist who ever writes an opinion piece is guilty of conjecture. That said, all I do is present the facts. Facts don't lie. Facts aren't conjecture. The fact is, Bieniemy was a running backs coach for 10 years before being given a coordinator spot at Colorado, a team that won 4 games in 2 years then came back as a running backs coach in the NFL and was passed over, twice, to be the OC after Pederson left for Philly with one guy, Childress, was out of football 4 years before being brought in for 1 season. Don't get me wrong, Bieniemy has done a wonderful job as a RB coach but there's got to be a reason why it took so long for him to become an OC in the NFL. Again, these are the facts, not conjecture.
But when you state “there’s got to be a reason why it took so long for him to become an OC” you’re inferring it’s due to being an inferior coaching candidate. That’s not a fact. There are almost an endless amount of possibilities as to why it took that long. And is age 49 really old?!? And five years with a team a “long time” to become an OC? I’ll bet the average over the span of nfl history is a lot longer than that.

Here's my conspiracy theory regarding KK:

The Cards already conducted a preliminary interview, before he was hired by USC. Was probably given a "most likely" scenario by MB...thus KK still accepts USC gig as a plan B, in case Cards offer falls through. Now, with USC restrictions, MB and Cards can only speak to KKs agent, to hammer out the deal.

I like the way your thinking. Following that theory, maybe USC floated a decline to interview KK to land a top recruit (and they did today). They will concede next week and KK will be announced as HC of AZ.

Source is USA Today...

It's not really "USA Today," it's a blog. Sure, he's a credentialed media member, but he's doing nothing more than reblogging content from around the web, not bringing "real" reporting to the table.

If you read his article, he cherrypicked some other site's content where they're oddsmaking for coaches. A site that has odds for Kurt Warner being the next HC, which would be ridiculous.

It's clickbait. If I knew clickbait was going to be this big, I would have continued being a journalism major in college, hell.

He was hired at SC before Wilks was fired.

So...


You think MB didn't know Wilks was likely gone earlier in the season?

MB could have easily had multiple discussions, with multiple candidates all season long...as soon as he knew he was likely to make a change.

Well then they better hope it never gets made public.
