On this episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy dives deep into the chaos and uncertainty surrounding the Arizona Cardinals’ ongoing head coaching search. From the outset, Alex Clancy sets the tone by highlighting one clear reality: the Cardinals continue to lack control over their own destiny, not only in their coaching search but as a recurring issue throughout the organization’s history.
Throughout the episode, Alex Clancy breaks down the evolving landscape as top head coaching candidates have been scooped up by other teams, leaving the Cardinals essentially competing with the Raiders for the remaining options. He discusses the recent interviews with Mike LaFleur and Klint Kubiak, evaluating what their prolonged processes and the Cardinals’ inability to quickly close a deal say about the franchise’s approach and leverage (or lack thereof).
He presents an honest look at how Arizona is perceived within the league compared to the Raiders—discussing factors like cap space, draft capital, and the roster—while raising the crucial point that many head coaching decisions may come down to which organization the candidate feels more in control with. Alex Clancy also explores what would happen if the Cardinals “lose” their candidate of choice, outlining possible contingency plans including the re-emergence of Vance Joseph as a fallback option.
The episode is packed with candid thoughts, speculation about the team’s decision-making process, and commentary on league sources, insider reports, and the impact of playoff scheduling on the search. Alex Clancy makes it clear that the direction of the franchise is at a critical crossroad and that their reactive nature—rather than a proactive approach—continues to haunt both the team and its fan base.
If you want the latest, unfiltered take on everything happening behind the scenes with the Cardinals, from their ongoing coaching search drama to a broader reflection on the organization’s identity, this episode is essential listening. Let’s discuss.
