The Arizona Cardinals welcome new head coach Mike LaFleur. No other coaching announcements have been made, although there have been reports of some hiring.
Nathaniel Hackett should be their offensive coordinator and Michel Ghobrial is expected to be their special teams coordinator. Some offensive position coaches are known.

But we don’t know yet who will be the defensive coordinator, as they appear to still be interviewing candidates.
When can we expect an announcement?
If we look back to 2023 when Jonathan Gannon was hired as head coach, it was February 14th. The coordinator was announced a week later, on February 21st. So, based on that schedule, the Cardinals are behind that pace. LaFleur’s hiring was announced on February 1 of this year. This is already the 12th and the coordinator has not yet been announced.
We can speculate that maybe someone will come next week.
As for position coaches and assistants, that comes later. Gannon’s remaining 2023 roster will not be announced until March 1.

So when it comes to LaFleur’s staff, maybe we’ll get official word from their coordinator sometime next week, but we shouldn’t get too upset about the other assistants.
