  7. I don’t know anything about this guy and don’t love that 🙃 fingers crossed it works out?

  12. Ah right, because the cardinals have been a model for an effective offense.

    What the fuck are we doing?

  20. That Arizona offense was fucking dog shit

    Edit: after looking at the numbers he’s actually not that bad. Run first offense had 2 really good years with a great rushing attack. Year 2 the passing attack was middle of the pack and rushing attack top 5 in the league. Goff is years better than Kyler I actually am giving the hire a chance. Might not see many explosive plays but a very physical offense

  22. I don’t understand this bro, ALL THESE COACHES THAT JUST GOT FIRED AND WE CHOOSE HIM???????????

  25. What the hell has he accomplished in Arizona? this would be the definition of failing upwards

  32. Did we even try? Like we couldn’t wait for the rest of the teams to finish? I mean I don’t even remember interviewing this dude. This is such a safe lame option in the same vein as Morton.

  34. Cardinals fan here, we wanted this dude fired after year 1, and he someone managed to survive for 3. This is a crazy hire. Even at our full strength, the guy does not know how to utilize more than 1 receiver. Get ready for your TE2 to get more snaps than your WR3.

  41. Apparently he’s close with Ben Johnson.

    “Dan Campbell and Drew Petzing have a indirect connection through Ben Johnson; Petzing is very close with Johnson, who coached with Campbell on the Detroit Lions (and was OC before taking the head coaching job), with Petzing even serving as a groomsman for Johnson, linking him through that key offensive staff member and Campbell’s successful system. While they haven’t directly coached together much, Petzing’s close ties to Johnson, a major part of Campbell’s coaching tree in Detroit, established the link. “

  43. We hired the guy who couldn’t scheme Marvin Harrison into the system? Makes sense

  44. Oh so this season is gonna be deja vu then… he’ll call like 3 or 4 games before Dan takes over again.

    And then im betting ppl start leaving and well…

  45. LMAO why is Dan still allowed to hire OCs? He’s 1 for 3 currently and would be 0-3 if BJ wasn’t already with the org. This will be another blunder going off his Cardinals tenure.

  46. Hard to be optimistic with this. I really hope the fans (including myself) are all just dumb idiots who know nothing and this guy is a stud.

  47. Lions fans: “there’s no way the Lions next OC hire can be less inspiring than Johnny Morton”

    Lions organization: “Hold my beer”
