Coach was under-appreciated by the NFL last year for what he did. Just making the playoffs this year should earn the award in my opinion. (since 8 out of the last 10 SB losers didn't)

Playing devil's advocate; when it was time to put in votes for the coach of the year, we were in the midst of our major slump. It took him til week 17 to get the team back on track. By then, the votes were casts and I dont think he was even in the top 5.

Adam Schien is great. Gotta love the Sirius Blitz on Sirius NFL Radio 124.

I wonder if John Riggins is coming back this year during the season to host it with him. That was a great combo. They've had Rich Gannon lately.. been ok.

He probably would have been considered if not for the late season floundering by the team...

What's the fear of standing up for the Arizona Cardinals?
Are you worried about their bleak history? The Super Bowl loser jinx? Think the road to the big game was too fluky one year ago and there's no chance the Cards match it?
Get over it.
If anything, the way Arizona played in the postseason gives them the needed confidence and big game experience they lacked before.
And with those needed intangibles for the first time in franchise history, 'Zona is seriously in the conversation to rep the NFC in the Super Bowl. The Cards have everything you are looking for.
The offense is explosive. They have a likely Hall of Famer in Kurt Warner at quarterback, still playing at a Pro Bowl clip. Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin and the underrated Steve Breaston make up the greatest trio of receivers in the game. The offensive line, beleaguered in the past, is very strong. The Cards' line is brilliantly coached by Russ Grimm. The running attack is greatly improved with the Chris Wells draft pick. On defense, Adrian Wilson, Karlos Dansby and Darnell Dockett are impact difference makers. Wilson, budding star Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Antrel Rolle and former Steeler Bryant McFadden comprise an excellent defensive backfield.
And Ken Whisenhunt proved his mettle as a NFL head coach after the Patriots' disaster last December when he questioned his team's manhood and practiced the sagging Cards in pads. It was a franchise-changing move.
Now, I am not going to channel my inner Denny Green and crown the Cards (too easy, I couldn't resist). But stack up the Cards with other competitors. 'Zona is on par with the Eagles, Giants, Bears, or any other team you want to argue. Don't be afraid to hop on board.

If the Cards wrap up the West in big fashion, coach Whiz will likely have a great shot of being Coach of the year. Sometimes these rewards seem to look on a recent past success that was not or unabled to be recognized. Hey getting the Cards to the playoff two years in a row should make him coach of the decade!:)
