Arizona Cardinals Appear UNPREPARED For Head Coaching Search Behind GM Monti Ossenfort
The Arizona Cardinals appear UNPREPARED for the head coaching search behind GM Monti Ossenfort and Cards owner Michael Bidwill. Can the Cards find a way to hire Robert Saleh or Klint Kubiak? Why hasn’t the team reached out to Mike McDaniel, Brian Flores or Mike McCarthy? Is Vance Joseph the favorite? Is Trinidad Chambliss heading to the 2026 NFL Draft?

Aren’t yall embarrassed being the laughingstock of the west? Your owner is interviewing people the the rest of your division is laughing at and hoping you hire them. Sorry that’s just my opinion.
Embarrassed? I’m a fan but I ain’t the owner. The owner should be embarrassed. But he ain’t.
Why are we still talking about this team?….John Harbaugh's requirements to become a HC are 1- $20 million per year, 2-$10 million staff budget, 3- Total authority over the roster, 4- Would like to select his own GM
If the Bidwills are serious about winning, they need to start going after some proven coaches. Harbaugh or Gruden not some unproven coaches.
By now Bidwell should get it. Play stupid games, get stupid prizes. For once don't be a cheap ass getting another experimental, crap shoot coach.
Go big or go home if you want a fan base, Michael. Five year, 100 million dollar deal for a proven killer.
We can’t have a defensive head coach— what happens when we (hypothetically) do well offensively? The brain drain begins. Mike McDaniels is the right move.
What did Salah do with the Jets to get all this love? Salah had a .357 winning percentage to Gannon's .294. Is this .357 supposed to scare the likes of McVay and Shanahan?
The cardinals always hire the absolute worse possible coach look at King dummy and Gannon they don't care about winning the haven't even reached out to stefanski and Harbaugh they've only talked to shit coaches like Joseph and Selah and lafley if they cared about winning they would try to hire a good coach. but they won't
Phoenix Cardinal should not use the state name Arizona . They don’t represent the rest of us. They suck.
This coaching hire should be Bidwill's last chance. Cards have been here longer than Chicago and St. Louis and have nothing to show for it other than Whisenhunt and BA's time here. In 3 years, they will have been here 40 years. Michael should hold off on the new facility, as they should be run out of town if things keep going the way they have been. Maybe they can move back to St. Louis or San Diego and we can get an expansion team someday.
After this performance of Moore tonight against Indiana…is he still a first round pick?
Gannon had suicidal empathy for Petzing.
ya can we look at a coach who didn't also get sacked this same season? Morris sounds better than Joseph but like why did he get fired. maybe it was because the falcons record sucked too!
also, jg made me wish we had kliff and I def didn't like kliff
I swear to God I feel like we’ve been rebuilding for the last 15 years and we’re about to make the 16
So, 5 of 8 Coaches on the list are from playoff teams. Unless they are on a bye, those coaches are not allowed to engage in any talks with any teams. You know that right? Did you forget that we lost a 3rd round pick because we engaged with Gannon too early?
You 2 don’t even know Jeff Hafley at all too speak so little of him. GTFOH. Y’all be LUCKY if he decided to take on your miserable, worthless, ugly red-headed step child of a football team. Go worry about selling your casitas and watching real football teams play in January. 😂
They were unprepared because they really were going to run it back until biddy boy lost some sales.
the guys are just yapping about nothing every day ahaha
Dude Noah please keep the Faaaak sound around it cracks me up everytime 🤣
Each NFL team received $432.6 million in revenue sharing for the 2025 fiscal year. This figure comes directly from the Green Bay Packers’ publicly released financial report — the only team required to disclose its books — and is widely used as the benchmark for all 32 franchises.
NFL Salary Cap (per team): $(279.2) million.
Cardinals’ Cap Space entering 2025 offseason: Overall cap space: $76.1 million (5th most in NFL) Effective cap space: $72.6 million (4th most).
Total dead money: $16.51 million (money paid in previous years and charged in 2025). Over the Cap, Spotrac.
Season‑ending cap space: Just over $20 million D. Urban.
$432.6 – 279.2 + 16.51 + 20 = $189.91 million for coaches' salaries, operating expenses and the Bidwill family. This is only NFL money, does not include other revenue such as stadium revenue etc. etc…
Context: dead money, many teams were over $50M. Three teams (Saints, 49ers, Jets) were over $100M.
49ers paid their coaches an estimated $28-32M, had over $100M in dead cap, and were 12-5 👀.
Cards paid their coaches an estimated $12-14M, had $16.5M in dead cap, and were 3-14 👀.
Coaching wins in this league, not how many draft picks you have.
Wow we haven't picked the coach yet let me look no other team has either give me a break
This is like breaking up with a girlfriend and then looking back because you have no one to replace her right away. No, Bidwell did the right thing. Gannon is not Head coach material. Joseph not the guy either, we need freshness. Go get a real head coach, maybe try offensive this time. Forget Harbaugh, he has lost his edge and will cost too much because of his past success. What has he done lately? He had an elite QB.
