I said he was overrated. I didn't say he wouldn't be hired. I knew AZ was between him and Gruden.

He was #1 or in the top 3 on everyone's list. And he ended up as a plan B to the 8th team, in a market where there was nobody left.

He wasn't a coveted head coaching candidate at all. He was scraps. I'm not wrong about that.

You did say he wouldn't be hired. You were crowing about him not being hired.

And not "everyone" had him top three candidate wise.

A few? Yes.

He interviewed for 3 of 8 jobs. Scraps for a head coaching job? Get ****ing lost here.

What a straw man argument you've created here.

The Cardinals could have waited for Greg Roman at this point. They didn't.

The Chargers hired a GM who came from the Colts -- he didn't hire Arians. Arians was passed over in Philly for Gus Bradley, until they realized they could get Chip Kelly. He wasn't even interviewed by 5 of the teams. And he was hired in Arizona, only after they got pretty much rejected by McCoy and Haley.

He got hired. I just don't think he's a good hire, and let's face it, that story above indicates that he wasn't exactly a prized candidate. I think he'll do okay as a head coach, but I think it's clear that he wasn't the top 3 candidate people made him out to be.

He was a good candidate who deserved a shot.

Ranking candidates now? That's atrocious.

He's not Chip Kelly. He's not Andy Reid. He's on par with Mike McCoy.

I wouldn't be going off on this if CP put him on par with Mike McCoy. Months ago, they were putting him as the #1 hot candidate, above Andy Reid. Above Gruden and Cowher and Chip Kelly.

I respectfully disagree with you that he's a good candidate. I still think they're hiring a more progressive version of Norv Turner. A guy who will be acceptably mediocre. I'm happy for the guy, but am glad he's not coaching our team.

Go to any head coaching thread, and find how many of them had Arians at #1 or in their top 3. He was widely regarded as one of the top head coach candidates. Incidentally, McCoy was high on many people's lists, but is suddenly being trashed as a head coach.
