The Arizona Cardinals have officially announced the appointment of Mike LaFleur as their new head coach. We don’t yet know who will join his team. Who will be his defensive coordinator?
The Cardinals may have an opportunity to hire a well-known, respected and successful defensive coordinator.

The Cardinals could be the favorite to sign Gus Bradley, who could also be headed to the Tennessee Titans, according to SI.com’s Albert Breer. But with head coach Robert Saleh planning to call plays on defense, Bradley may lean more toward Arizona.
Bradley spent the past three seasons as the Indianapolis Colts’ defensive coordinator. He has been a DC or head coach in the NFL since 2009. He has overseen defenses for the Colts, Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders. From 2013 to 2016, he served as the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
His experience is also in demand as LaFleur is a first-time head coach.
Of course, LaFleur and Bradley haven’t crossed paths with any teams yet, so we’ll see what the plan is.
