One of the candidates to be the Arizona Cardinals<\/a>‘ new head coach is apparently off the board now. The Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> announced on Tuesday that they agreed to terms with defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile on a contract, retaining him in 2026.<\/p>\n

Campanile was one of three reported finalists for the Cardinals<\/a>‘ head coaching vacancy, so either he was told he was eliminated or he elected to return to the Jags without knowing whether or not he would be the guy.<\/p>\n

With that news, it would seem to be that the Cardinals are down to former Atlanta Falcons head coach Rakeem Morris and Los Angeles Rams<\/a> offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, who was flown in on Monday night for dinner and met with the team on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The lack of a report of them finalizing a deal for him to be hired is concerning, because what will the Cardinals do next?<\/p>\n

There is a report that they met in-person with former Carolina Panthers<\/a> and Washington Commanders<\/a> head coach Ron Rivera for the job, so that is new information.<\/p>\n

Get ready for more of a ride, Cardinals fans. It doesn’t appear to be over yet.<\/p>\n
