Did anyone see Jaworski on ESPN this morning?

[roland77]

Jaworski was asked which was the best opportunity for a new coach among all the coaching vacancies, including Pittsburgh, and he picked the Cardinals. Talked about how much talent we had with Leinart, Fitz, Q Wilson, Dansby. He did preface it by saying he had 32 concussions during his playing days though.

It was on last night at about 11:30 or so.

With Leinart leading the way, this team has the players to be good even if the B's do their best to hold the team back...

 

[Renz]

I saw that too. It was nice to get some good pub from ESPN after Salisbury's hatchet job on the radio.

An espn.com poll has the same question and nationally, the leader with 58% is PIT. Lame.

Quotes like these do not make any sense. Why would the Bidwills purposely hold the team back. The better the Cards do, the more ticket sales, merchandise, etc.

Saying that the Bidwills do not have a plan, or not sure how to execute the plan is one thing. The Bidwills doing their best to hold the team back is another.

They have been holding this team back forever. It might not be intentional, but they still do.

most of the time it is a money thing that gets in the way. Hopefully the new UPS stadium will open the bank more.

The Bidwells are incompetent. I don't think the Bidwells wake up every morning and think, how could I make things worse. However, I do think they have no idea how to run a Franchise. The team record and success so far is proof of that. Now add in the financial decisions this team makes, the relationships it ruins (ASU, Fiesta etc..), it's not hard to concule here that the Bidwells don't know how to run an NFL franchise.

what so attractive about the steelers job is the owners will stick by you and you have a young qb in ben rosthlisberger who has already won a superbowl. the steelers is a dream job right now for any head coach. the only bad thing is following cowher and i dont think that is a bad thing. if you are good coach then it won't matter following cowher.

the only question about the cardinals job is the ownership desire to winning. with the new stadium, the desire to win and to win now is strong. the talent that the cardinals have is what going to attract a coach to come here. all the coaches league know if they can the cardinals to win then they will be able to go anywhere in the league and set their own salary, and they will go down in nfl history as one of the greatest coaches.

Maybe he'll learn to give up control a la Mike Brown (although the Bengals have just risen to mediocrity--still better than where they were, though).

Ben's not the prize in Pittsburgh, although he's a pretty good QB. Willie Parker is going to be great and the D speaks for itself. Plus the great ownership you mentioned. The thing is it's sort of a closed club and they'll promote from within.

I agree wholeheartedly with you about ego being a big thing in coming to the cards.

Arizona was #2, though. I didn't see any problems with the rankings.

gambit,

everyone knows all coaches have real big egos. that is what makes them successful and what makes them fail.

Spelling

Don't mean to be picky but Steel Dog, before you complain about Cardinal ownership (and there are lots of legitimate complaints), PLEASE learn how to spell the name. It will make your posts more acceptable, as people might feel you know something about the team.

A couple of days ago, someone asked Jaws who were the best HC prospects available. His answer was Mora & Martz. He said they would both be significantly better the second time around. Did anyone else hear that?? I know there's a lot of disdain for Martz on this board, but Jaws spoke very highly of him & I generally think Jaws is a very knowledgeable football guy.

Martz would get Leinart murdered. Absolutely murdered. No thanks.
