On the surface, sure. But he probably wasn't going to be lured away from USC for a coordinator position.
Look, I'm not necessarily in favor of this. All I'm saying is I will wait and see before reserving judgment. The same people that rip these sorts of bold moves when they happen, are the same people that disappear and never return when they are proven wrong a couple of years later.
I think we might have an example of one of those types right here in this thread.
Who's defending the hire?
I'm a level headed, fair person. The Cardinals saw something in him they liked. I'm willing to wait and see how it goes. As a fan, nothing was worse than watching that product last season. That was the worst Cardinals team since they moved to AZ.
You seem pretty stubborn. To not admit you were wrong 2 years later if they win the Super Bowl is just plain dumb.
Something like this should absolutely be judged on results, not what some IT guy in Seattle or what Colin Cowherd thinks of it.
NFL is all about young people innovating the game right now. He was going to be a hot commodity as an oc with how prolific the offense has remained under him at tech. He also got to work with 3 of the top drafted qbs in the last few drafts (mahomes, Mayfield, and manzel) who all had big time careers and two have translated well to the nfl, the third has been derailed by character issues. Agree with the above sentiment, they need to go out and get a big time DC and keep Kliff away from that side of the game. But I think he will be successful in bringing back value to david Johnson and finding ways to put rosen in a position to succeed. They need a wr and some oline help out there desperately.
The defense two seasons ago with Arians and Boettcher was actually very good statistically. That D carried the team since they had Stanton and Blaine Gabbert at QB most of the season. Boettcher ran a 3-4. He had the personnel for a 3-4.
Then Wilkes comes in and won't budge off of his 4-3. It was a disaster. That defense was almost as bad as the offense.
