There hasn’t been much news with the Arizona Cardinals‘ search to hire a new head coach. We do not know yet who of their 13 candidates are moving on to the next round. We do know that there is competition.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter revealed three finalists for the Tennessee Titans‘ vacancy. All three are guys the Cardinals interviewed — San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley and Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy.
Saleh interviewed with the Cardinals late Friday night.
The Cardinals reportedly want a second interview with Hafley. Nagy was one of the first names to pop up for the Cardinals.

They are expected to move on from Kyler Murray and his contract. Jacoby Brissett was fine statistically but went 1-11 as a starter, is 2-15 in the last two seasons and 20-45 in his career when starting. They have the third pick in a draft that most feel is a one-quarterback draft.
We will see what happens in the days to come with both the Titans and the Cardinals.
