Please name some Cardinals coaching candidates (1 Viewer)

If Denny makes it past Monday, I'll be shocked. I wouldn't be too disappointed to see Pendergast get a shot the rest of the year as an interim, but who are some serious candidates who would be a good fit with this team? Pete Carroll would be too expensive and he would probably demand too much control for the Bidwill's taste. Do they need a disciplinarian, or would a bright young mind serve the Cards better?

 
I'd love to see Fisther get canned in Tennessee and come over to AZ.
:goodposting: That was who occurred first to me as well. And then there's his offensive coordinator Norm Chow, who coached some lefty in college as I recall . . .
 
Bob Stoops? Kirk Ferentz? Would they go the college route? Pete Carroll?

I will be thrilled to see Denny Green go. This team has a bunch of talented young kids. They need a real coach.

 
There are a couple of Steeler assistants in Russ Grimm and Ken Whisenhunt, who might get a head coaching job soon. Whisenhunt turned down the Raider job last year. Cowher assistants have had mixed results as head coaches, so I am not sure how these two would do? However, I would give them a shot before a college coach.

Good call, I'd like to see Wisenhunt considered.
 
I'd bet Jim Fassell gets the job.
...and that would suck. But I agree he will be on the list of candidates interviewed...seems like a Bidwell type of guy.
They interviewed him before they hired Denny. No point in revisiting the past.
I believe that this is the 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 promotional slogan for the Cardinals, no?
I read their slogan is"Big Red: Resurrected...no, we're not talking about Vince Tobin's hair or Dave McGinnis' nose."

 
Hate to lose him but Im sure he will get a job this offseason, Ron Rivera has to get looked at here.

 
If any reporter asked Dennis Green "were the Raiders who you thought they were?" in the post-game press conference, he would instantly be my favorite media member ever.

 
I voted Hudson Houck. He'd probably make a lousy head coach, but with the skill-position talent already on that team, the offense would practically run itself. All Arizona needs is someone to KEEP THEM FROM FORGETTING ABOUT THE O-LINE.Hire an O-line coach as the HC and GM. Spend all draft picks and all free agent money on linemen. Reap the rewards.

What is Meyer's situation in FLA...can he be bought?
Not looking likely. Urban Meyer is one of those rare individuals who isn't in college coaching because he wants to show he's better than all of his peers. From everything I've ever seen or heard from him, he's genuinely in love with the pageantry of college football. I could be wrong, but he looks to me like a lifer, a Bobby Bowden type. Besides, once you get past that whole "proving you're the best on the toughest stage", what does an NFL job have to offer over the College Football Factories? College head coaches make just as much money, work shorter hours, and all they have to do is win 8 games a year with a schedule that has 5 wins built in, and maybe every so often make some noise in a bowl game. The job itself, as well as the job security, are so much better at the college level.Since we are talking college, though... I would love to see Arizona hire Leach away from Texas Tech to run their offense. I think that could get really sick in a hurry.
 
Tom Walsh is having a great year, they should snap him up right away!

Seriously, I think Fassel will end up with the job if Green is canned mid-season. He worked for the Cardinals before he took the Giants job.

 
Whomever ends up coaching the Cards, their biggest problems aren't coach related. They're personnel related. That franchise has been run like a fantasy team. Tons of skill players, no foundation in the trenches.

They should trade Fitzgerald or Boldin for a bookend tackle and move on from there.

Actually I think the Lions and Cardinals should have a rotating coaching staff thus reducing the redundancy of horrible coaching for both franchises. What this would do is outlaw any former Lions or Cards coach from ever coaching for any franchise other than the Cardinals or Lions. The only way these franchises would become exempt is for their current owners to sell, sell, sell.

 
I wonder if Martyball might be available by the end of the year. It would be hilarious to see him neutralize the best players on his team.

 
Pete Carroll?
First of all, I think he's made up his mind to stay in what is one of the three or four best college jobs in the country, bar none. Second, if he were to leave, it would be for an enormous amount of money. Third, assuming away the above two issues, I can't imagine him leaving for the NFL coaching position that has probably the least amount of support from its ownership in the entire league, not to mention the shakiest fan base. That job is the ultimate dead end.
