Why the heck are we keeping a guy who failed badly at his job last season, Frye, and keeping another guy who failed badly at his job last season, Rallis? :bang: :help:
I like the hiring of Mike LaFleur as the head coach but I'm not happy with the coordinator situation. :rolleyes:

So it's coaching or talent. (and)

We decided to keep Monti in charge of procuring talent AND our Defensive coordinator and OL coach.

Is the plan... we couldn't hire anyone good after being so late, so we'll run it back out with these guys next year until Schwartz or someone else is available?

At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if we kept Kyler.

Rallis must have pictures of a passed-out Michael in the bathroom stall with his pants down.

The only coached we should have kept is Ben Steele and maybe Ryan Smith

While I understand the frustration and people being angry. We don't know if this will be the case. The DC was working under a defensive minded HC and was likely running the system JG wanted/told him to run. Rallis could do a complete 180 now with an offensive minded HC and likely more leeway with what he may actually want to do. Time will tell I guess. We have to suck it up no choice. Talk with our wallets.

The honeymoon phase with ML is definitely over. Retaining Rallis & Frye??? I don’t even have words to describe how disappointing this is. My expectations for next season keep getting lower.
This will drive me to not even watch next season.

SMFH what a clown show

The problem seems to be the Cards’ job is not highly desirable and Bidwill won’t offer enough money to overcome the issues.

Disagree. Sweat, Nolen, Campbell, Williams, #3 pick. And there's some other good young talent on this defense. I don't think it's an unattractive job.

I mean, if MLF interviewed Rallis, Pleasant, Bullen and the Seahawks guy and came away thinking Rallis was the better option then what do we know? On the face of it, I'd rather see fresh blood, but I also said at the start of this I wouldn't mind seeing Rallis as his own guy. The first 2 years the defense played above it's talent level. Rallis is only 32 and one of the brightest young defensive minds in football.

Do people think we interviewed multiple guys and then Mike said "Nah, I don't want to burn the $1 million I'm paying Rallis even though I already burned several million on other coaches. You can suck it LeFleur and keep Nick". Really?

I'm sure this will be one of the times that Vontel thinks I "defended Bidwill" but I prefer to call it thinking logically and not inventing crap.

LOL… DOUBLE WTF?!? Did I slip into a coma and wake up on April 1st? We are saddling our new HC with the DC of one of the worst defenses in the league three years running and and O-line coach who took over a very good O-line for two seasons and made them into one of the worst in the league!?

F THIS TEAM.

Conversation:
Mikey- here's our budget for coaching staff.
MLF- I'll just keep the guys we have. No one is coming here for that amount.

MLF- Hey Nick and Justin, you were always my guys. I just interviewed numerous others for show.

Can't wait for free agency when we bring Beachum and Will Hernandez back to bolster the OL. Plus they got Conner back to make this offense go.

Maybe the get lucky and sign the young Von Miller to a 1 year deal too.

They sure are making Gannon the scapegoat. Monti, Rallis, and Frye all returning to key positions on this. craptastic team.
They went through all this rigamaroll and all they're basically doing is hiring a new OC but making him the HC.

Kyler Murray gave this team five 4th quarter leads to start the season and Nick Rallis' defense coughed up 3 leads and nearly a 4th.

The offensive line gave us under 97 yards a game rushing and 21st in sacks allowed.

These are the coaches we are keeping? Is the intent here to tank and then go get coaches next year?

Sickening to hear this

How is ML supposed to change the tone of the locker room with the same guys who failed?

It smells like it has something to do with MB saving money on the staff to eat some of KM's contract or to pay the OC more money

Only the Cardinals can sink this low

Alas....
