Kleckineau Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 https://sports.yahoo.com/bruce-arians-retires-coach-arizona-cardinals-182318599.html Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians, one of the straightest shooters in the NFL’s coaching ranks, is retiring. He confirmed reports in a tearful press conference on Monday. “It’s been a great ride,” Arians said. The 65-year old is the winningest coach in Cardinals history and got his 50th win with Arizona on Sunday when the team beat the Seahawks in Seattle, in a game the Seahawks had to win for a playoff berth. ------------------------------------------------------ Or was he given the option to retire vs. getting canned?

Beerfish Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 And we rushed to 'lock up' todd bowles. As i said in another thread, this off season is worst case scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him being locked up makes him more attractive for Arizona to trade for him they won’t have to negotiate the extension themselves, Bowles would not be coaching on a lame duck contract for Arizona if they traded for him they would have extended him as soon as the trade was final, so don’t be surprised if there is rumblings of a Bowles to Arizona talk from the so called NFL insiders the next week, or so. Now if they are true, or serious is another thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 If we had that smart vet football person in between the clueless newbie owner and the powerless gm we might have a shot at this type of thing. We can only hope that Bowles wants to go to zona, that would be a special present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge4Tide Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Arians was an assistant coach for Bear Bryant way back when I was an undergrad at Bama in the early 80s. Dude has been grinding it out as a coach ever since - 36 or 37 years non-stop, he has to be physically nd mentally exhausted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Not only is Arians 65, he also revealed he had kidney surgery in February after doctors found renal cell carcinoma during an ultrasound. Arians also experienced a bout of diverticulitis during the 2016 preseason. Ideally, Arians would stick around to help groom Palmer's replacement. Jared Goff's performance under Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay compared to former coach Jeff Fisher is a testament to how the right coach is instrumental to a young passer's progression. That plan hinged on Arians wanting to stay while coaching what's likely to be a losing team. Given both his age and health concerns, Arians' aversion to staying on for a multiyear rebuild is understandable, but it leaves the Cardinals in a difficult spot this offseason. In addition to identifying a potential successor for Palmer, Arizona will need to find one for Arians as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 If Arizona wants Todd Bowles bad enough they will pay the price we shall see in the next few days how this plays out. If they make no effort to bring him back this will speak volumes about Todd Bowles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way Bowles goes to Arizona now is through a trade and I don’t see Arizona giving anything of value for a sub .500 coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
