RE: Arians

Viable option? Sure. But I don’t know if he is a guy they are looking at.

Should hire Horton for H.C.! Good inovator and inteligent. Should hire Kiem as G.M. ! He is with us now and can do a lot better job with player selections than Graves did! Hoping right decisions are made and CARD’s become winners again!

So far it sounds as if Haley doesn’t think the Cards are serious and doesn’t want to burn the bridges in Pittsburg where he’s got a good thing going (what a refreshing thought, good to know somebody in the NFL is grounded in reality). While I don’t think Mr. B has time to sit back and relax while everyone else is plotting their moves and scrambling for players who are becoming FA, it does seem that “this is a fine mess, you’ve got us in” sir, Lovie Smith and Nov Turner would certainly be worth a try, although I have a feeling that they will be out of our price range. I like Horton as a coordinator but I just don’t see how he can fix an offense that was really the problem even with someone like Norv Turner.And the fans who “love” him today will be the very ones to want him out the first time the going gets rough…would be ruining the best part of what we have left. Most Cards fans go to games for the party and don’t even know who the players are so going back to the old days before Whisenhunt, should be a familiar scene. Plus, they always need something to complain about! This team has no money, no leadership, and only vague talk of direction with no idea how to get there. But, what else is new? There is a reason the Cardinals have been the laughing stock of the NFL for so many years. AND, obviously the people who think Warner made Whisenhunt and this team didn’t see him play when he first came here and have forgotten he renigged on his contract with a year left…hmmm, Don’t think a lot of fans or many people in the organization took him seriously about his retirement talk so that wasn’t on Coach. Funny how fans choose to remember facts the way they seem most glamorous rather than how they really were! I like Kurt but one player doesn’t a team make. Maybe we should try to get him back as a coordinator at least for a year, since he shorted us one…LOL! I’m having problems seeing why anyone would want to come here and be HC. Seriously, I would love to hear the pitch unless it’s a place to get your foot in the door with the NFL?

Darren: Would Indianapolis Colts’ Offensive Coordinator Bruce Arians be a viable option? He’s proven himself more than once that he’s fully capable and highly prepared to take a team from scratch and make the most with them. I think if the Cards were able to sign him to a contract, Ray Horton may like the idea and choose to remain Arizona’s DC. Just my thoughts. Not to mention, I’m a Colts fan, but still got to support the Home Team, which represents AZ.

Hey, if having Horton as HC brings Norv Turner on board as OC, then I’m in.

Otherwise, there is still a guy named Lovie Smith out there…although I’m guessing that there is no interest on the Cardinals’ end if we’ve heard nothing about it at this point. To me, he seems the best HC candidate.

RE: Linehan

I think, with your Rams reference, you answered your own question.

RE: comment

Sorry. You just came on the tail end of way too many fans spelling the name wrong. Not just you. But I just don’t understand it.

You can have your opinion. Personally, I do t think Reid was the right choice, so I don’t se who they’ve lost out on.

I know this name probably doesn’t make sense cuz of of Rams coaching days but should Scott Linehan be a consideration?
Darren, you know of who I speak?

Harry Boldin
Peterson maybe; but he probably won’t leave Boise. Koetter re-signed an extension to remain with the Falcons a couple of days ago.

Yikes Darren are you mad I spelled Bidwill wrong, or is it my comment that they always wait until everybody is gone regardless of the situation? Not trying to be a jerk just wondering why we are always a day late and a dollar short every time?
