Harold Goodwin

If the Cardinals are going to stay in-house, there is no better option than Goodwin. He has been wooed by other teams in the past. Why let someone like this go?

Goodwin knows the offense. He would certainly tool it and mold it into his own but would be someone who would carry on some of the Arians philosophies that proved successful for the Cardinals over the last several years.

Goodwin should be looked at based on overall record here in Arizona, not just 2017. Certainly 2017 wasn’t the best offensive year for the team.

If Goodwin had a healthy roster to work with, given the talent they have now and the talent they expect to go out and get through the draft and free agency, he can win just like BA here. At the very least, the hope is the Cardinals give him an interview.

If the Cardinals don’t interview him, don’t be surprised if someone else does. It is only a matter of time.
