Why Arizona Loses

[SicC]

Let the truth be told about the Arizona cardinals.



There are a lot of great things about playing and working in Phoenix. The Cardinals have a first-rate facility and their new stadium is an exciting venue. So, why can’t the Cardinals turn around their fortunes?

Because ownership simply doesn’t get it.

They should be turning over their football team, control and all, to the best man available. They made a semi-run at USC’s Pete Carroll, but the money and the control factor wasn’t enough for Carroll. Now, they apparently are allowing several veteran players to be a part of the coaching interview process. How nuts is that? An owner may want to ask one of his veteran players what he thinks about someone as a coach, but it should be simply to gauge the locker room. What head coach wants to accept the job knowing that the players didn't want him or preferred someone else?

The Cardinals may have better offensive talent than some NFC teams, but they will never win until the Bidwill family takes a bold initiative and steps away from the team and find the right man. I would have kept Denny Green for one more year and waited to sign Bill Cowher next year and given him the keys to the team.

with wide recievers like that i think Mike Martz is the best fit for Arizona

Pete Carrol would be nuts to leave for the NFL (again)

he was a failure in the AFC EAst for 2 different teams

Agreeable, i think Arizona will improve quite a bit next season, they got all the parts, they just need to solidfy their offensive line, there's no way Edgerrin James should've had that type of season.

Cardinals get better.. move the team to San Antonio or Orlando.

give the Suns the new stadium. America West arena becomes the home of the Rattlers and keep it for the concerts.

The only way the cardinals will become better is if bidwell spends the money to hold onto his players, how many of there top players have they lost after ther einitial contracts ran out? Just about all of them. Why? Uptight bidwell refuses to open his checkbook to retain them even after they prove they deserve it. You can not be a contender if you dont open your wallett and sign players to long term deals.
