Did Mike LaFleur just shift from Cardinals’ head coach candidate to favorite?
The Arizona Cardinals reportedly took LA Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur to dinner Monday ahead of a scheduled second interview on Tuesday. Bickley & Marotta ponder what it all might mean as the team’s search for its next head coach continues.

Why is it that it takes the cardinals 2 to 3 interviews to hire someone? But all other teams 1 interview and done
Cards gm said its a process thats going to take time. Is that the case our many coaches not that interested in cards job thats why they signed with other teams
We got the offense let's start there.
Filbertos?
Phoenix needs alittle Hollywood
Whose your chose Bic?
Did JG badmouth the Cardinals to brother Matt?
Cards need a new gm. 3 years with all the draft picks cards had still questions at qb. Rb. Rt og. How many positions need to be adressed on offense. Last year cards went defense with all their draft picks. They also spent lots of money on defense in free agency. When is this team going to adress the offense and spend every draft pick on offense
The dinner is because he is here for two days. Way overthinking it.
About time steak 44 will do it
Too bad about AC
No Lebanese restaurants in phoenix so hence the reason salah never made it to dinner
Lafouer and AC win
It makes absolutely no sense for any coach to come here because the cycle is always the same. The organization is incapable of identifying and acquiring a QB. Then in 3 years they fire and scapegoat the head coach because of their failure to do so. No NFL coach can win without a QB and it’s not their fault when they lose because of that.
The overwhelming problem with the Cardinals is organizational with Bidwell at the helm.
Mike Lafleur the new head coach of the Arizona Cardinals
Bidwell………. So….. Mike. Are you hungry? There's this great Seafood place down the street; It's called Pete's.😅😂
It's no wonder why things happen so slowly here; Your always in the Bargin Basement at The Dollar Store!😢
why would lafleur come here ? oh yeah ,, to work under mastermind owner bidbad ! and have a great q.b. in place !
They did it so Mikey can get a nice dinner and deduct it as a business expense.
I wonder how they split the check.
Another guy with no head coaching experience? Another Kingsbury. Another Gannon. Another Wilkes. Another failure… Arizona, I have to turn my back on you now.
I said this before and it bears repeating the problem with Draft and develop strategy is that while the cardinals are getting better slowly the teams like the 49era Rams and seahawks are getting even further ahead talent wise. this year I still blame one play for the complete melt down and its when Emari Demarcado dropped the football a the one foot line. we were 2 and 1 when that happened and the team won only one game after that. but if mike Lafluer is half the coach his brother is I think we have ourselves a really good coach
Any Hc Cards decided on will be better than what has been there…every coach knows even if they lose every game, the pay check doesn't go down for losing…they still get paid.. Absolutely Nothing to Lose!! Change them contracts and coaches and players will try harder at winning games!!!
