Cardinals closing in on Steve Wilks as next head coach

The Arizona Cardinals appear to be closing in on their replacement for head coach Bruce Arians. Beat writer Kent Somers is reporting the team is closing in on a deal with Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks to become the head coach.

Over the weekend, there was a report the Cardinals were going to give New England Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores a second interview, and Jim Caldwell might get a look as offensive coordinator. Instead, they appear set to go with Wilkes, who just completed his first year as defensive coordinator.
