Gannon has been fired

[Russ Smith]

Bold statement since he almost did three years ago.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Flores in one of his NFL lawsuits directly cite the Cards firing Steve Wilks as an example of NFL racism?

I know it came up often at the time, and I fully believe Wilks HAD to be fired but I seem to recall Flores put it in a lawsuit so I've assumed it meant he'd never come here?

OOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFF.

What a clown line from Monti about PFF grades - as if criticism of him is as facile as PFF grades.

To be fair, Josh Sweat was totally snubbed from the Pro Bowl this season. Jared Verse had 5 less sacks and 2 less tackles for a loss than Sweat and he made it over Sweat.

With puka nakua and Jackson Smith and jigma both in the playoffs, you could possibly see Michael Wilson get a pro Bowl nod as an alternate. Sorry this is speech to text..

Love the reporter question to Mr. B "It appears that you are catering to the rich fans" - then the squirm and back-pedaling starts.

Ossenfort asked what he hasn't done well enough in building the roster and dodges.

Ossenfort asked if he's built a roster good enough to win and dodges.

Ossenfort asked about positions he's confident in beyond 3 and bumbles through injuries + offseason talking points.

I would watch this especially the last three minutes. Absolutely brutal

Yes totally unfair that just because he plays on a good team and makes meaningful sacks in important moments that Jared Verse got PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT.

It's the roughest Cardinals press conference I have ever seen.

i just started writing about what all gannon did wrong and deleted it after the first paragraph - im over this guy - his defense sucked and he did nothing about it - he chose a bum for his oc - good riddens

Cardinals should have made in-season coaching change

Plenty of NFL owners would have us believe that they make no decisions whatsoever about the future of their coaches and/or G.M. until after the last second has elapsed from the final game of a lost season.

www.nbcsports.com

The Cardinals surely knew as well, at some point during a nine-game losing streak that gave the organization its first-ever 14-loss season.

What’s the point in waiting? What’s the point in letting the head coach finish the season when the decision has been made to replace him?

Bidwill didn’t decide after the Week 18 loss to the Rams that he’d be hiring a new coach. He didn’t have anything to sleep on (which, on Monday, he told reporters he did). He made the decision at some point before Sunday and kept it very quiet until today. Through it all, he kept the organization from getting the ball rolling on finding the best replacement.

Why did he choose to do it? The simplest explanation is this: Dysfunctional teams do dysfunctional things.

 

[Mr X]

Because nobody knows how to run an offense on this staff other than Petzing. They were all lacking experience in every aspect and it showed. No adjustments, same ole every week. Other than more under center and play action because Kyler was limited too.

 

[oaken1]

somebody always wants to trade up - specially if qb goes 1 and 2

Yeah...#3 is the catbird seat for any team not needing a QB..

If he would have had a quality offensive or defensive coordinator in place, he could have made that change mid-season, but when you have nuck and futz in charge of running the offense in the defense, it's kind of difficult.

Until they meet again.

 

[Hoodhero]

The man didn't even try to take over play calling on D with job on the line towards end. That's absolutely mind boggling to me smh

 

[pemory09]

the Cards 100% need someone who knows offensive football to give input on the QB decision

Oh, so you mean KM???

 

[oaken1]

I really want to see Monti succeed, but holy crap...His responses to questions from reporters in the audience, were embarrassingly amateurish. I mean, he tried to make the point that the roster is "solid and above average!!" And went on to say there were "several young players who contributed this year!" What????

I dunno man... this doesn't feel good at all. And Mikey sat there looking like he was holding in a fart! Geeez...

He was trying not to throw anyone under the bus.
We added CC, Sweat,Tomlinson, Nolen, Johnson....and our defense got like 10 spots worse in league rankings.
What Monti didn't want to say.....

How the phukk does anyone know if we have pro bowlers or not?? Coaches have to put players in position to succeed and our staff failed miserably at that.
Coaches are supposed to take young talent and refine it...improve it...make the guy better.
But nearly every player we acquired got worse than they were last year...rather that was college or another league team.
Most players don't go off script...you are given an assignment and that's what you do regardless...going off script gets guys benched...a guy needs to have established superstardom before he can go off script and get away with it...and he still better make the play.

There is a chain of command, and when players are not being developed that sits squarely on the position coaches...
It sits squarely on the coordinator to either put a boot in dudes ass or get a new position coach...
Then it sits squarely on the HC to hold his coordinators accountable when they fail to do that.
Then it sits on the GM to deal with a HC that will not force his staff to do their jobs...

What we saw was the first few steps failing to perform their function so the GM performed his.

It was pretty evident last year that we were lacking in player development...but this year was even worse....
Imagine what Walter Nolen could be with a good training staff and competent line coach.

 

[pemory09]

What round draft pick will Monti cost us with this HC search?

Does it matter? Monti doesn’t draft pro bowl players.

 

[Goldfield]

I’m guessing Gannon was fired because he refused to fire DP and NR.

Or because he lost too many games

 

[Fitz4Ever]

I honestly liked what Monti did last off-season quite a bit. I haven't always been a fan of every draft pick, but there is a lot of luck involved in the draft and when you don't have good coaches or a very good QB...it's hard to see a lot of young players coming in and dominating early.

You could argue taking Paris instead of Anderson was a mistake...but at the time people thought that Texans pick would be top 5. Marv was the right choice...none could have guessed the first 2 years would go this way. Nolan seems like a stud.

Robinson and Adams were horrible picks....but Will Johnson was a good one.

 

[pemory09]

Kyle should take the win that JG is gone and let us properly judge Monti next year (couple years)

xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

Dude has Petzing at 7/1 to be our next HC. Is he high?

 

[pemory09]

Who would want to trade up in this draft? The best edge rusher prospect has arms 2 inches shorter than Will Campbell's. The best tackles arent exactly blue chip prospects.

Never underestimate the NY Jets my friend.

 

[pemory09]

Sounds right to me Russ.

Could you imagine the reaction the fan base would have if Monti and Bidwill thought the answer to the teams struggles, was promoting the coach the fan base had the biggest problem with....
