everlong Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Ever since their meltdown in Carolina in the 2015 NFC Championship, Arizona has been a below average team since and I could imagine some of his mannerisms could get old after a while. At what point does Arians get canned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVillain112 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 As much as I love Arians, I do think the probability is higher than 50%. His team looks like an undisciplined mess. Also, I don't know what's going on offensively with them. I get that they lost David Johnson but idk if it's Palmer or the play calling but I expected a lot more deep shots. The fact that the Cardinals barely challenged the young/banged up Dallas corners with JJ Nelson deep, coupled with the head scratching decision to not help their RT with DeMarcus Lawerence was odd. Just not sure what's going on with that team coaching wise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I hope he doesn't. I think he's a great coach. I just think Palmer is finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 He's about to turn 65. Better chance he just retires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cddolphin Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Hmm. At what point does age simply catch up with your creative / fluid intelligence, leaving you a less-effective coach than you were before? Historically, when have successful coaches checked out (willingly or otherwise)? Coughlin was essentially forced out at 69 (and that was with a little leeway). Arians is turning 65 next week, he's the 3rd oldest active coach (Carroll is 66, Belichick is 65). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footbull3196 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Theres a good chance arians is gone after this season. This will almost assuredly be the 2nd season that the Cards finish below .500 barring major improvement, and I don't see that happening without David Johnson. I think it would be a good opportunity to clean house with Palmer and fitzgerald likely retiring after this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malik Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 He was great with a win now team that had a very good QB. Don't see much point in sticking with him when the window is closed and needing to rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-mac Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I highly doubt he's going to be fired, but I do think that he might well retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmurtry86 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Their window is closed. They need to rebuild. Probably best to move on from Arians though IMO he's a good coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmen Cygni Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I see this year as Arians' last hurrah (possibly Palmer's too). He really is a great coach but the state of the Cardinals franchise at the time of his arrival pretty much hinged on QB Palmer and I don't see him sticking around long enough to develop another talent at the position. He won't be fired, but he'll most likely retire at season's end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dashing202 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Why in the world would the cardinals fire him . Give him theee years he's a good winning coach. they just need to get a new qb and rebuild the WR core the D still good. you don't get rid of coaches that are avg 9 wins a season.

riceman80 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I hope not. He's one of the better coaches in the league, particularly in hos offensive prowess. I again with some that Palmer is at the end of the line. I expect when he and Fitz retire that he'll walk away too. The offense is built around DJ and aging vets. Palmer, Fitz, and Veldheer' s best days are all behind them. I believe they've got alot of key defensive spots solidified but they need to rebuild the offense with the next generation of players before they get back to Super Bowl caliber. And Fwiw, they're missing DJ, John Brown, Iupati, and Humphries. Hard to look good on offense when missing your star RB, best deep threat, starting LT, and Pro Bowl OG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
