It would be way too easy to place the onus of the blame on head coach Steve Wilks for the Cardinals’ egregious ineptitude through two weeks.
If Wilks is to be blamed for anything, it might be for accepting the terms of his employment in Arizona. He was the first and only coaching candidate to accept Michael Bidwill’s conditions that the new head coach be amenable to developing Steve Keim’s previous draft picks, many of whom have thus far floundered. Wilks was also asked to embrace players with quirky personalities, rather than alienate them.
When Wilks was hired and was explaining his plan at his introductory presser, it felt like he was reading a script written by Michael Bidwill.
