After the Cardinals graciously hosted the Rams for their "home" game against Minnesota, he was blown away by the generosity of the Cardinals. He said he told his wife a year ago, one day I'm going to be the coach of the Arizona Cardinals. That's a crazy story.

LaFleur on his impressions of Kyler Murray: Says he touched base when he got the job. Had a "little message" with Murray. Says it was never fun game planning and has a ton of respect for Murray.

LaFleur says when he and the Rams were moved here due to the fires last year, and prepped for the playoff game in this building “it felt like home” and felt that “I’m going to be head coach of the Arizona Cardinals someday”

LaFleur on what sold him on the Cardinals: He just wants to win. Being with ownership really sold him on that. Everybody has the same vision here in a tough NFC West.

LaFleur on if this team needs minor tweaking or major overhaul: Says Matthew Stafford walked into his office and said, "These guys can play."

Said there's pieces here and cited fourth quarter close games.

LaFleur on if he's looking for any sort of type at coordinator: "We are casting a wide net and there's convos that need to be had within this building first. We're gonna be open to that."

Ossenfort on how he weighed LaFleur's experiences: Viewed time in New York as a positive. Jets gave him "tough things to deal with." Deemed it a learning experience and says it was beneficial listening to Mike talk about what he learned
