Coaching -- does it matter with the Bidwells in control?

John F · November 27th, 2006, 01:40 PM

I heard the rumors that Denny Green will be fired after the season and perhaps USC's head coach (and former NFL head coach) Pete Carroll will be offered the job to replace Green as HC.

My question is -- does it matter?

When there is talent on the Arizona team, and when there is hope -- it all seems squandered in the end as if someone is pulling strings to make certain that things are done a particular way -- a way that results in nothing productive for the Cardinals. Doesn't matter who is coaching - everything ends up for not for one reason or another.

Will the Arizona Cardinals improve -- ever -- under Bill Bidwell or is the franchise in trouble until he is no longer in control (a la Hugh Culverhouse in Tampa)?

I honestly do not like Green as a coach... never have... think he is about as over-rated as they come....

But I agree that there are more serious concerns than coaching... namely the existance of even some sort of offensive line

Odd that it was just 3 years ago or so that the Cards had a great offensive line and no running game. Now they have Edge, they have Leinart... they got no offensive line to help either excel. Go figure.

THat is my thought exactly...an o-line would help. James just isn't the same
without the big uglies that he had in Indy. He should have double the yards, and 5 times as many TD as he has now. They have the fix the line!!!
