Is this a coaching issue? Penalties have absolutely killed us this year. We play very undisciplined.

Cardinals Lead League in Penalties

absolutely and is one expected outcome of a new coach and of a "cool" coach. KK is going to have to start being a little more of a coach and less of a cool guy in the locker room as penalties have been very high.

La k of discipline is a sign of bad coaching.

I was ssurprised that the two teams had almost the same number of penalties. Listening to the radio call, it sounded as though the Cards were flagged far more than were Detroit
Hell yes its a coaching issue. Its unacceptable.
Things like holding on the O-line and stuff are really hard to judge, but the Intentional Grounding, False Starts, Grabbing Jerserys on defense, and stuff like that is something that needs to be addressed real quick.
I wouldn't mind KK going hard on them as saying "If you commit a penalty that is a "mental error", you are out of the rest of the quarter.

I think Kliff spends too much time designing big brain trick plays and not enough time drilling the basics and fundamentals into the team.

Definitely a coaching issue. As a head coach you have to walk a fine line between being a players coach and being their buddy. Coaching comes first.

I got lambasted (I think even threatened to be banned?) in the last game thread for blaming KK for penalties. Yet, here we are

Actually, one would think his job is reinforcing that mantra to his assistant coaches which I do not doubt he has because he has been citing the unacceptable amount of penalties even when we won. These are fundamental things the freaking players have been grilled on since Pop Warner football... I think this was the first game I can remember where Darrell Daniels did not make a bonehead penalty

Yes, but is it all on the head coach? How many coaches do the Cardinals employ? K2 does not coach every position, his coaches do. And sure, he is responsible for them. So if he starts playing this "Amos Moses is a friend of mine so I can't let him go". Then that is a huge issue. He needs to evaluate his coaches and recommend changes where needed. I agree, that is on him, and Keim, and MB.

head coach sets the tone for the team as far as discipline is concerned.
when you are dead last in penalty yards given up, that’s on the head honcho as far as I’m concerned.

I see your point. But all coaches contribute to that. Does anyone really believe K2 says penalties are OK? He always points them out and says they must be corrected. I think hiring VJ was a huge mistake. I think it needs to start there. And yes K2 is ultimately responsible.
lol oh ok.
Kliff didn't hire VJ.

I didn't say K2 did. I said I think hiring VJ was a huge mistake. Thus I don't believe K2 can fire him. It is on SK and MB but K2 can give his input.
How else are they going to get corrected? What is a coach like KK supposed to do besides bench someone who continually makes mental errors? He benched David Johnson for failing to pick up blocking assignments.
You either have superior talent making dumb penalties that hurt us, or you have inferior talent but not penalties....both hurt, but only one sends a message
