The Arizona Cardinals will wait until after the Super Bowl before they announce their next head coaching hire. What does this mean?

The Arizona Cardinals will wait until after the final whistle blows in the Super Bowl to announce their next head coach. To some, this means they may hold out a little longer to interview coaches like Eric Bieniemy or Shane Steichen.

But don’t look too deeply into it, because as of right now, there hasn’t been a viable whisper regarding more candidates. Instead, you can expect either Lou Anarumo or Mike Kafka to walk away with the job come next Monday (at the earliest).

While this can change between now and then, don’t expect the Cardinals to add the likes of Bineiemy or Steichen to the list. Though if something like that were to happen, I personally wouldn’t be against it, as both Bieniemy and Steichen have respectable track records with quarterbacks.

Arizona Cardinals will (most likely) roll with Anarumo or Kafka

If the Cardinals are looking to wait after the Super Bowl before they announce their hiring, yet seem to be sticking with either Anarumo or Kafka, why wait? Honestly, owner Michael Bidwill and general manager Monti Ossenfort would be the two best names to answer that question.

The Indianapolis Colts, at this point anyway, also appear to be waiting until after the Super Bowl, or at least sometime close to it, to hire one of their finalists that includes Jeff Saturday, Bieniemy, Steichen, Aaron Glenn, and Wink Martingale, to name a few.

Opinions regarding the Cardinals search have been mixed. Obviously, neither Kafka nor Anarumo will immediately excite fans in the way Sean Payton or Frank Reich would have. But we also need to remember that obscure names have also exceeded some wild expectations in the past. Maybe Anarumo or Kafka will do the same.
