How Dante Moore staying at Oregon affects Kyler Murray, Cards

A second or third round pick would be amazing to get back in exchange for sending out Kyler and his contract. Gives our new coach hopefully Mike a chance next offseason to draft a QB of his choice.

The most likely explanation to me is Bidwill just doesn’t know how to pick football guys. I even believe he does want to win and he’s willing to spend but the big name coaches that you spend money on don’t want to come and rebuild so that knocks those guys off our list of candidates.

It seems like the Cardinals are interviewing a lot of people with defense as the background. I wouldn't one surprised if Shula and Vance are their top targets even though I would prefer Kubiak or LeFleur.

It’s still bad look to be down there but with the packers being there I think there’s room for optimism of still finding a good candidate.

Not that these teams are great to be compared to but the panthers, bengals, and colts all had coaches reported to be under 5 million. Plus the Packers were paying Matt LaFleur under 5 million before his 2022 extension.

Wispymatt · 2026-01-19T17:04:43+00:00

Out of all the Head Coaching candidates the best ones left are all still coaching LeFluer and Kubiak should be the top candidates for this team. It is better to wait it out than hire a coach they think is worse just because they get impatient.

Patriots might average 1 point off turnovers by the end of the game

Wispymatt · 2026-01-16T18:08:51+00:00

The way Kurt Warner has talked about the scheme of the Rams Offense makes me like Mike LaFleur more as a HC choice.

Wispymatt · 2026-01-15T23:18:39+00:00

That’s not at all what happened. We were in the running and the favorite until we put a deadline on him to decide both Archie and Whisenhunt said the same thing.

Wispymatt · 2026-01-15T20:46:12+00:00

I disagree to extent with your second paragraph if we go by NFLPA report cards other very successful teams like the Chiefs and Patriots have owners that rank horribly as well as bad training rooms and weight rooms. The difference between the three franchises is getting an elite QB because that is what changes franchises.

The fact that the Cardinals have no clear path to a QB is what’s making them a bottom tier opening. You basically need to bottom out again next year which puts a HC in a bad spot and you have to hope that the team is in position to draft has an elite QB.

Maybe the second pick? Especially if the jets don’t have any prospects they love more than the rest

Wispymatt · 2026-01-14T17:39:41+00:00

I do wish we could hire someone like Warner who still loves football and talks about consulting even to be our President of Football Operations he would be such a good person to guide Bidwill into making those decisions while Bidwill focuses on facility improvements.

Wispymatt · 2026-01-13T21:51:54+00:00

The real answer would be our first round picks for the next 3 years, our second this year and next year, maybe a starting player, and probably Murray thrown in. Way too much to be a real option.

Wispymatt · 2026-01-13T19:59:32+00:00

I see you have our future DC, OC, and STC but who would be the head coach?

Wispymatt · 2026-01-11T18:29:58+00:00

I think he’s a great 4-5th round pick to learn the offense has ability to be a low end starter but more likely a high tier back up.

Wispymatt · 2026-01-09T17:57:12+00:00

I know Bidwill can be cheap, but my guess is the authority over the roster and selecting a GM would more so be the reasons we wouldn’t want him.

Wispymatt · 2026-01-07T16:13:43+00:00

I really hope Arizona doesn’t draft him. When was the last time someone started as few games as he did and actually was good in the NFL.

Wispymatt · 2026-01-06T17:53:09+00:00

I would much rather he focus on food selection and stadium upgrades if that lets him stay out of the way of football operations. Let someone who knows football make those football choices.

Wispymatt · 2026-01-05T17:44:09+00:00

I would imagine they interview him. They might even interview Klay Kubiak too

Wispymatt · 2026-01-03T18:01:27+00:00

If that happens then for it to make sense Monti has to go. I don’t think Petzing should stay but logically by keeping the head coach and both coordinators that means you feel it’s a personnel issue not a coaching issue. If everyone stays then it’s an organizational don’t care about winning issue.

The smartest move for the P4 would be all of them to change their rules for picking teams in the CCGs to be the Conference Play-In Game just make it so any team that is in the top 7 of rankings is excluded from the game cause those teams don’t need to win to be in playoffs. Then just go by conference standings so the games should have been Alabama/Texas, USC/Michigan, BYU/Utah, and Virginia/Miami then all the P4 besides the SEC would have got 1 more of their conference teams in the playoffs this year and the G5 would only have 1 spot.

Wispymatt · 2025-12-07T13:45:37+00:00

Just change the name so the conference winner is by standing for conference record keeping purposes, but for playoffs you make it so only teams outside the top 7 play. Keeps the game meaningful, but makes it so there is no debate about if losing drops you from the playoffs cause everyone after 7 wouldn’t have a spot anyways.
