I would move Harbaugh and Saleh to the top and Vance down 2. Splash Kubiak right after Webb and we are good
No particular order in that.

I would love to know Davis Webb’s staff plan and vision. He is probably my top 1st time offense guy.

I think Chris Shula, Jessie Minter, and Anthony Weaver are interesting but I need to know the plan for offense.

Similarly, I need to know what Vance and Saleh are going to do different this time around. I think they both inspire players.

Same thing for Stefanski. What went wrong in Cleveland? What part did you play? I like that he survived three HCs in Minnesota and had some success in Cleveland.

Harbaugh is Harbaugh. That’s a different type of interview IMO.

Did you actually do your research?

Mike Shanahan was 8-12 in less than two seasons in Oakland.
Pete Carroll was 6-10 in one season with the Jets and 27-21 with the Pats.
Tom Couglin was eight games over .500 in EIGHT SEASONS coaching the Jags.

Also all these examples are like 30 years old.
I'm not saying it's common, but it has happened before.

What’s the basis for saying Joseph was “awful” in Denver? How mad can people be that he couldn’t make Trevor Siemian and Case Keenum work?
Joseph finished his first season (2017) as head coach with a 5–11 record and improved to only 6–10 in his second season (2018), resulting in back-to-back losing seasons for the Broncos for the first time since the 1971/1972 seasons. On December 31, 2018, Joseph was fired by the team.[11]

Until this year who hasn’t struggled in Chicago?
As mentioned his record was 34-31 with a dysfunctional organization. Got to the playoffs twice.
So Morris struggled. Saleh struggled, McDaniels struggled. Does they disqualify them?
Yes, yes it does. It disqualifies all of them. ;)

Davis Webb has only been a coach in the Nfl for 3 seasons and has never been an offensive coordinator. No thanks.

Anyone out there that still thinks Tomlin is an option for the Cardinals? Lol, lol, lol. He’s pathetic.

Yes.

Tomlin gets a lot of hate but in 19 years, he has NEVER had a losing record.

Tom Landry and Bill Belichick are the only other coaches in NFL history that have accomplished this (at least 19 years in a row).

Since 2007 (Tomlin's first year)
Steelers: 1 head coach
Cardinals: 5 head coach's

Steelers: 0 losing seasons
Cardinals: 9 losing seasons

Steelers: 193 Wins (average 10 wins per season)
Cardinals: 140 Wins (average 7 wins per season) *edited

Steelers: 13 playoff appearances and 1 Super Bowl win
Cardinals: 5 playoff appearances

Hell yes I would want Mike Tomlin.

My top three HC candidates today (outside of Harbaugh)

1. Brian Flores - proven HC and his defense can be a disruptive force in the NFC West.
2. Kevin Stefanski - proven HC that won in Cleveland with multiple QB's.
2. Mike McDaniel - proven HC that is near the same level of offensive schemer as McVay and Shanahan.

Since 2007, the Cardinals have won 140 games with 2 ties (average 7.4 wins per season).

That’s wrong and what you get for trusting AI. Notoriously bad at doing its own math. There are reliable primary sources for this.

Both correct - thank you

Weird that it added up Pitt correctly but not us.

From Dan Graziano at ESPN:

My prediction for the next Cardinals coach: Klint Kubiak, Seahawks offensive coordinator
My prediction for the next Falcons coach: John Harbaugh, former Ravens head coach
My prediction for the next Ravens coach: Kevin Stefanski, former Browns head coach
My prediction for the next Browns coach: Mike McDaniel, former Dolphins head coach
My prediction for the next Raiders coach: Robert Saleh, former Jets coach and current 49ers defensive coordinator
My prediction for the next Dolphins coach: Chris Shula, Rams defensive coordinator
My prediction for the next Giants coach: Jeff Hafley, Packers defensive coordinator
My prediction for the next Titans coach: Matt Nagy, Chiefs offensive coordinator

Bad predictions IMO

IMO, this is narrow minded thinking. He is not a perfect candidate. If he was, he would have his pick of spots, and wouldn't pick AZ. However, the Bills tried to talk him into being their QB coach when he was still playing. He was snatched up by Payton as soon as he retired, and then after two seasons made him his pass game coordinator on top of his QB coach role. I think his dad is in coaching. He has been a QB through college and in the pros which generally means he knows how to command a room. He has a path to potentially bring in the OL coach and run game coordinator Zach Strief as his OC. Strief has done a very good job with the Broncos OL.

I don't know his plan for defense or the rest of the staff, but there are a lot of things to like with him.

I think he might be turned off by the QB situation here.
