The Arizona Cardinals are busy.<\/p>\n
After hiring Mike LaFleur on Sunday, introducing him to the valley on Tuesday, they hired a new offensive coordinator in Nathaniel Hackett on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
To make things even more fun, they are requesting a bevy of interesting names to potentially be LaFleur\u2019s defensive coordinator.<\/p>\n
Here are the names we know they have requested to speak with, you\u2019ll note one name not on the list as of now is Don \u201cWink\u201d Martindale.<\/p>\n
First, Charlie Bullen, he was the interim defensive coordinator for the New York Giants, and was with the Arizona Cardinals during Kliff Kingsbury\u2019s time as an assistant linebackers coach and outside linebackers coach.<\/p>\n
Next up is Aubrey Pleasant, the 38-year old Pleasant has been an NFL coach for over a decade, working with the Browns, Washington, the Rams, Lions and Packers and most recently has been the defensive backs coach and defensive passing game coordinator for the Rams.<\/p>\n
Finally, the team has requested to interview Houston Texans defensive backs coach Dino Vasso. The 38-year old Vasso has been a rising star with the Texans, helping the Texans secondary become the best passing defense in the NFL and helping develop their secondary.<\/p>\n
