Report: Rams OC Mike LaFleur considered frontrunner for Cardinals head coaching job

The Los Angeles Rams could be in danger of losing their offensive coordinator this offseason. Mike LaFleur has interviewed for multiple jobs around the NFL and though they’re filling up fast, the Arizona Cardinals seem to have a lot of interest in him.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported last week that Raheem Morris, Mike LaFleur and Anthony Campanile are the coaches in play for Arizona, but Connor Hughes of SNY took the Cardinals’ interest a step further.

He reports that LaFleur is “believed to be the frontrunner for this job,” indicating that he’s the lead candidate for Arizona’s head coaching vacancy.
