The Arizona Cardinals<\/a> are still engaged in their search for a new head coach, and things might have gotten a little bit better for them. Another team has named their new head coach, and it didn’t take away any of the Cardinals’ candidates.<\/p>\n

The Atlanta Falcons named former Cleveland Browns<\/a> head coach Kevin Stefanski their new coach<\/a>, replacing Raheem Morris.<\/p>\n

Stefanski was not one of the 13 known candidates the Cardinals have.<\/p>\n

So now the Falcons and the New York Giants<\/a>, who have hired John Harbaugh, have their coaching jobs filled, leaving the Cardinals as one of seven teams still looking for a new coach. That list includes the Baltimore Ravens<\/a>, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans<\/a>, Miami Dolphins<\/a>, Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> and Browns as well as the Cardinals.<\/p>\n

Who are the Cardinals’ candidates?<\/p>\n

The Cardinals have either interviewed or requested to interview 13 coaches. They spoke with Harbaugh on a phone call as well.<\/p>\n

These are the guys we know the Cardinals have interest in.<\/p>\n
