Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:07:50 -0800 Former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley is unlikely to return to the Arizona Cardinals' coaching staff. Talks between Haley and the Cardinals have been amicable; however, coming to agreement on a position that meets the Cardinals' needs and matches Haley's career goals has been elusive. Head coach Ken Whisenhunt doesn't want to make a major shakeup on his offensive staff. The only open position is the quarterbacks coach job, and Haley may not be open to such a role after serving as both an offensive coordinator and head coach in the past.

"Larry is obviously not making the decisions," Whisenhunt said. "There's a lot of things that guys want that they don't necessarily get. That's why I have individual meetings with them to get their ideas. It would make sense to at least talk to some of your players."
Fri, 28 Jan 2011 20:22:51 -0800 Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau said Friday, Jan. 28, that if he is coaching in 2011, it will be with his current team and not the Arizona Cardinals, reports Mark Kaboly, of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Thu, 06 Jan 2011 20:31:04 -0800 Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt announced Thursday, Jan. 6, that defensive coordinator Bill Davis has been fired, reports Kent Somers, of The Arizona Republic.

The Cardinals finished the 2010 season ranked 29th in total yards allowed and 30th in rushing yards allowed.
Thu, 06 Jan 2011 07:12:36 -0800 Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt is mulling changes to his coaching staff, according to Kent Somers, of The Arizona Republic. It is uncertain if Whisenhunt will make any changes, but there has been much speculation about the future of defensive coordinator Bill Davis, who has held the job for two years. The Cardinals defense finished the 2010 season ranked 29th in total defense and last in points allowed. "I know there will be changes," Whisenhunt said. "I don't know what that is going to encompass, but we're going to make sure that we work to not have another season like this."
Thu, 07 Oct 2010 07:08:55 -0700 Arizona Cardinals RB Beanie Wells said he did speak with head coach Ken Whisenhunt about his role in the team's offense, but Wells also said he did not mean to sound disrespectful by complaining to the media, according to Kent Somers, of The Arizona Republic. Wells laughed when asked if his comments got him in trouble. "I did tell him I didn't mean it in a disrespectful way," Wells said. "If you read the headlines, it came off like Beanie is really angry about a certain situation. I'm angry about not being out there contributing. I love being an Arizona Cardinal. Coach understood where I was coming from. No doghouse at all." Whisenhunt replied, "I understand Beanie's frustration. We're all frustrated at the way things have gone for us. It would have been my preference that he would have talked to me about it before ... but those things happen."
Tue, 05 Oct 2010 06:54:48 -0700 Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said he is considering other changes to the starting lineup, on both sides of the football, besides a possible switch at starting quarterback, according to Bob McManaman, of The Arizona Republic. "I think going forward at this point, yes, we are considering them," Whisenhunt said. "Our guys have worked hard on the practice field; I don't have any problems with that. But we're not getting it done on game day. If you're not executing, if you're not getting it done, you have to look at the potential for changes. I don't want to hit the panic button. I'm not anywhere near that point. But it is something you do look at, absolutely."
Tue, 14 Sep 2010 07:38:29 -0700 The Arizona Cardinals improved to 14-5 against NFC West opponents under head coach Ken Whisenhunt and have won 12 of their past 14 against division foes after a Week 1 victory over the St. Louis Rams, according to Bob McManaman, of The Arizona Republic.

"There's been a lot said and written about Joey - the bulletin-board material he gives to other teams and all that stuff - but in my experience with him, he believes in the team concept and knowing that being successful is about being unselfish," Whisenhunt said. "He brings an intensity and passion and will keep that level up throughout the game on defense."

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 06:57:02 -0700 Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt remains confident in his team following a shaky preseason.

"I think with the general public, that's the perception, and I understand that. All I can say is I feel good about our team and what we have done and where we are."
Tue, 04 Aug 2009 08:21:22 -0700 Kent Somers, of The Arizona Republic, reports Arizona Cardinals WR Steve Breaston will likely serve as both the punt and kick return man this season.

This is really one of the funnest times of the year for a coach because you're getting to work on things and there's not the pressure of the season or a game coming up. It's a little bit more relaxed atmosphere with your players."
Sat, 18 Apr 2009 12:33:11 -0700 Kent Somers, of the Arizona Republic, reports Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said the team likely will not look to select a quarterback or wide receiver in the 2009 NFL Draft.
Wed, 15 Apr 2009 13:30:09 -0700 Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports the Arizona Cardinals said they are willing to listen to offers from other teams for WR Anquan Boldin. "Before the draft, you know there is going to talk about Anquan and his situation and a trade. Since not a whole lot has changed with his contractual situation, we know that will come back up. It would be foolish from our standpoint not to listen to those opportunities and see what actually exists. But I want to make the point … our goal is to re-sign him to a long-term deal. That hasn't changed," head coach Ken Whisenhunt said.

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 10:46:23 -0800 Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports Arizona Cardinals assistant head coach/offensive line coach Russ Grimm said he does not think the Cardinals have an advantage over the Pittsburgh Steelers because he and head coach Ken Whisenhunt used to coach for the Steelers.

Fri, 09 Jan 2009 17:09:36 -0800 Mike Tulumello, of the East Valley Tribune, reports Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt is optimistic DE Travis LaBoy (ankle) will be able to play in the team's NFC Divisional Round game Saturday, Jan. 10.
