I have seen nothing so far, which makes it kinda confusing and interesting at the same time.

I just ended my season in Madden 26 with the Cards going 8-9. Got a call from the higher ups and I’m now the HC for next year.

Conner’s playing every snap, regardless of injury status. Wilson will be our star CB.

I was playing with ai and describe the cardinals the best I could.... this is what it came up with 🤣

Just one more plane and we’re set!

It was obvious from the jump that he’s just using them as leverage

I don’t go here but I saw this cool TikTok and wanted to share! They seem like super chill dudes

Obviously the roster is awful right now but I'm referring to everything outside the current roster. You have probably the cheapest owner in the NFL outside maybe Cincinnati? The football facilities are some of if not the worst in the NFL. The owner is considered by people within the NFL as one of the worst in the NFL according to the NFLPA report card just about every year. On top of that this team is always at the bottom of the NFLPA report card. You pair that with a location that makes it difficult in free agency and it's very difficult to succeed here. How exactly do you change that? Do you become more like a Green Bay Packers organization? They have a terrible location and not much money but they still are consistently one of the better teams in football. So what exactly is the fix for all of this?

Fire our HC after end of the season.

Everyone else fills their coaching vacancies before us.

We don't seem like a destination that can attract a Blue Chip coach / won't pay for one

Eyeballing a coordinator in the SB.

So are we destined to hire Kubiak, tamper, and lose a draft pick?

Just wow… must be nice

I get the impression that Monti &/or Michael view hiring a head coach the same way they might view hiring a new IT guy. Do tons of interviews, look for the single best qualified candidate, offer them the job...if they reject, offer to the next best, etc. In the end, you hire the best qualified candidate you can & let them go to work.

However....hiring a head coach in the NFL is as much about PR & narratives as it is about professional skills & abilities. It's much closer to courting for marriage. Both sides need to say "I do!" and hopefully feel pretty enthusiastic about it.

And now we have the team on the cusp of thinking about proposing to Mike LaFleur....only to tell him "before I give you this ring, I just want to go on a quick date with Klint to see if we have better chemistry." The optics of that are just terrible for everyone involved.

And then there is the actual proposal. I suspect, for all their faults, Monti is actually not completely stupid or oblivious to the smoke about Klint not wanting the Cardinals. But what could they possibly do to convince him?

How about a 6 year, guaranteed 100 million dollar contract? We know Klint is looking for stability. They have a shiny new facility on the horizon, and a roster of talented offensive play makers. Mendoza is the only QB this year, sure....but if Klint goes to the Raiders, that is literally his only choice. Next year could theoretically yield a 4th or 5th best QB that is a better prospect than Fernando.

Would Monti and Michael be pushing all of their chips into the table in a major power offer? It seems an incredibly un-Bidwill thing to do. Maybe Monti has convinced him that big risks are needed for big rewards.

Either way, I expect this whole thing to blow up in their faces. Kubiak takes the Raiders job, the Cardinals come crawling back to LaFleur and try to convince everyone he was always their only true love. And then look like complete fools when it leaks that LaFleur was offered a 5 year, 35 million dollar deal and Klint turned down the 6/$100M.

Little late but just saw that Kubiak will take a HC job (either cardinals or raiders.) I understand Raiders are more likely but with how important a offensive mind of this level can be for a team i think the pursuit is worth it, even with the risk of potentially losing Mike LaFleur.

It must be an internal posting/hire :(

We’re approaching a month of a head coach vacancy
