The Arizona Cardinals were barking up the right tree last January. Someone they were targeting for their vacant head-coaching position, John DeFilippo, was already set to interview with the Cardinals’ brass for a second time. The quarterbacks coach of the Philadelphia Eagles was busy however, preparing Nick Foles for the NFC Championship game.
Unfortunately for Arizona, the follow-up meeting with DeFilippo never took place. The Eagles got to the Super Bowl, which basically prevented the offensive guru from getting a head job. The Cards ended up hiring the defensive-minded Steve Wilks for the position, and we all know how that has turned out.
