This episode of Locked On Cardinals, hosted by Alex Clancy, dives deep into the Arizona Cardinals’ ongoing head coaching search, using the conference championship weekend as a live audition for potential hires. Alex Clancy breaks down four intriguing candidates—Vance Joseph, Chris Shula, Mike LaFleur, and Clint Kubiak—evaluating what fans and the front office should watch for as these coaches lead their respective teams under the brightest lights in the NFL playoffs.
Throughout the show, Alex Clancy offers homework for Cardinals fans: pay close attention to how these coordinators handle adversity, adjust their strategies, and respond to the unique challenges in front of them, including injuries, divisional familiarity, and roster limitations. Vance Joseph is analyzed as the current frontrunner, especially given his experience and the pressure on his defense, while Chris Shula and Mike LaFleur’s work with the Rams is scrutinized for defensive front success and offensive play-calling balance. Klint Kubiak’s adaptability—particularly with key players missing—is positioned as a major test.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful, nuanced look at the Cardinals’ future and want to hear analysis that goes beyond surface-level stats—blending game theory, roster projection, and the importance of coaching philosophy—this episode delivers. Plus, Alex Clancy teases big things coming for the Locked On Cardinals community, including ad-free content, Discord perks, and a sense of camaraderie for diehard fans.
Tune in for a full-scale breakdown on which potential head coach fits the Cardinals’ needs, what championship weekend reveals about coaching aptitude, and why Sunday could shape the team’s future. Let’s discuss
