The Arizona Cardinals fired head coach Ken Whisenhunt on December 31.

Since then there have been various reports about who the Cardinals are targeting and who is interested in the job. Some of the candidates are former coaches with varying degrees of success, while others are coordinators searching for that first head coaching job.

Below is a list of the most likely candidates along with notes pertaining to their likelihood of coming to Arizona. The rankings will change along with the winds of the search.

Darrell Bevell

The Cardinals are reportedly bringing the Seahawks OC in for an interview.

    Let me get this straight . . .
    Mike McCoy is the leader in the clubhouse for the Cardinals head coach position. Isn't this the same Mike McCoy that, even with Peyton Manning at the helm, couldn't get more than 21 offensive points against an aging Ravens defense? And isn't he the same Mike McCoy, with Peyton Manning, a couple of time outs and the ball, with 31 seconds on the game clock, chose to take a knee and hope to win OT instead of being aggressive and proactive to attempt a game winning field goal in regulation? So exactly what is the attraction to McCoy and why is he considered the leader in the clubhouse?
