He and Pagano are like brothers. Wonder if he would replace him like that...probably.

I always respected Arians and thought he got the most out of his players. Heard yesterday that Bill O'Brien might be headed that way. Not sure why he'd leave Deshaun Watson and a group of solid defensive players for the Cardinals. I know I wouldn't.

Because BOB doesn't want to be in Houston. And vice versa.

It's all about the QB. Arians knows they need to draft a QB, but won't be high enough to get the top guys, but more importantly that even if they move up for one they will have to suffer through a rookie season and the inevitable losing for a second consecutive season.

IMO he's smart to bail out. Arizona is a good franchise but I get that he doesn't want to do the rebuild as that can be difficult to survive.

And of course McVay's success has teams thinking they can do the same thing lol. Good luck with that. :D

And as has happened each time these rumors came out they’re being walked back now. We’ll see what happens after week 17.

Yup, he is.

This is a guy that developed Derek Carr in his rookie year, Carson Wentz into a MVP candidate, & also got something out of Johnny Manziel for a brief time when he was the OC for the Browns.
“Developed” Carr?? Yikes. By all means, hope Cards sign him.

I guess Tomato Head is stating he never said this was going to be his last year. Good I'm glad.

I don't know about him as a HC, but he's a legit OC. I was begging for Fisher to hire him after 2015 instead of retaining Rob Boras. The guy probably would have saved Fisher's job, so I guess we lucked out that he passed.

His story in the media right now is "let's wait until after the season." That he has not made his mind up yet. But that is likely because he wants his team to play balls out in his final game without him being a distraction.

Keim seems hell bent on making changes this offseason, as he mentioned on radio. The combination of him pressing for changes to Arians' staff, along with the QB situation and Arians' loyalty to his staff, seem to indicate the rumors have some weight to them.

I think he's gone, but he's waiting until after the season to announce it.
