One of the big problems with the Cardinals HC search is that Bidwill treats it like a top secret event leaving fans wondering and speculating WTF is going on.
That's only a problem, because you allow it to be. This team has been silent on everything for several years now. Heck, this is exactly what happened the last coaching search, except this time the Cards won't lose a draft pick if they hire Kubiak.

Pretty moronic comment indeed. I’m married, retired after 40 years in Corporate Management, have 4 adult kids, 9 grandchildren, and living very comfortably off my retirement accounts. What I do now is strictly for fun, because I love it & I’m really good at it too. I’m a stats freak, always have been, and track NFL injury reports like few others. The only bone I have to pick is with the Bidwill family, in that they have made being a Cardinal fan for 62+ years extremely challenging and frustrating. My kids have already been instructed that when I die, I want 6 Cardinal players to be my pallbearers. That way they can let me down one last time.
Im completely lost.

It’s a Monti thing. Bidwill had pressers with the candidates in the Kliff hiring cycle (maybe).

I don't remember that far back as I'm getting old. Whoever is pushing for the radio silence on the coaching search it's super frustrating for fans IMO. It is so weird that the Cardinals official reporter Darren Urban is forced to reference rumors he is seeing on the internet in his reporting on the Cardinals HC search.

It's a duel in the desert.

The Arizona Cardinals are hoping to complete their coaching search soon, and after eight teams have filled their open vacancies, just the Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders remain standing with no clear picture in sight.

Kubiak is scheduled to meet with the Raiders for a second time on Saturday. The same will likely be true of the Cardinals. Arizona is expected to arrange an in-person Kubiak meeting, ESPN’s Peter Schrager reports. According to colleague Jeremy Fowler, both interviews are expected to take place on Saturday. Dianna Russini of The Athletic adds candidates for each position have been informed at least one more interview with another target will be taking place, a likely reference to Kubiak.

He didn't know he was ass.
MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE DONE HIS HOMEWORK!
Would you assume the QB that was just signed for $55m a year was pretty good? I would.

NO!!! What serious GM look at what is paid on a position (the most crucial by a long shot) and says, "well, he's paid well, so he's totes good!" It's ridiculous.
But then any GM that took the job would have been saddled with the same ass quarterback and nothing would be any different.
Thank you for exploring the multiverse once again, and explaining to us all what "akshually" would have happened.

What the hell did Bidwill think was going to happen when he fired a HC that had to endure an NFL record for injuries. Whether low football IQ Cardinals fans realize it or not, the REST OF THE NFL has a tremendous amount of respect for Jonathon Gannon. Why would you ever consider taking a job from Bidwill when you know you can get canned when you finish a season with 10,357 players on the IR in a division with 3 of the top 5 HC’s in the league. Typical idiotic Bidwill move to fire JG and ending up with an imbecile option like Vance Joseph.
Little big a reach, don't you think

When you’re forced to play rookie 3rd stringers, you’re going to play more vanilla. Just a fact. Teams are always less aggressive earlier in the season because no one plays in preseason games anymore. By the time we wanted to let our regulars loose, we didn’t have any regulars. Bottom line, it was a HUGE mistake to fire JG. And we’re about to find that out.
Where I strongly disagree is how the Cardinals lost. They lost the Tennessee game because of detail mistakes from players who had been on the roster. They couldn't run the ball even when they were healthy. They set a record for penalties in a game. They were 2-5 before the break with a -1 turnover rate. So many non-competitive games. This is on coaching and the roster.

If the team looked polished and was executing the scheme but just out talented, that would be a different story. It didn't. Gannon himself said there were day 1 install issues in multiple post-game interviews. That can't happen in year 3. That can't happen over the course of the year in multiple games. That can't happen if your entire coaching principle is growing and developing players.

The Cards roster is superior but the Raiders have branding, elite facilities and an owner who is a richer version of Midwill. It really depends on Kubiak’s feeling on Mendoza.

It's haters because some always want to see the worst when our roster is clearly better.
Let's top 5(ish) this.

Top 5 AZ players
Trey McBride
Josh Sweat
Michael Wilson
Paris Johnson
MHJ/Budda/Fro

Top 5 LV players
Maxx Crosby
Brock Bowers
Ashton Jeanty
Kolton Miller
Adam Butler/Devin White/Tre Tucker

The rest of the players don't really matter because they didn't play enough, are too young, or the differences are minuscule.

This then leaves the QB situation. One franchise as easy access to a cost controlled, rookie QB and the other has to figure out how to unload it's 45 mil QB who doesn't want to be there anymore.

Also the cap situation. LV has 81 mil in cap space. AZ has 30 mil. Both teams have avenues to open up more space.

It's not hate when people argue that the Vegas situation would be preferrable to the AZ situation. It is a legitimate argument.

Monti making assumptions about the QB heading into his first GM gig would be an absolute sign of negligence and ineptitude.
