Great hire in the right direction for the Arizona Cardinals and their fans
Mike LaFleur has officially been announced as the next head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. LaFleur is coming from being the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams, a creative and adaptable play caller most would say.
LaFleur's units on offense have been at the top of efficiency in yards per play and third down conversion rate.
The system LaFleur is known for is called a quarterback-friendly system, play action and a balanced run-pass concept.
Arizona's team owner Michael Bidwill this is a complete concept and philosophical changes coming to the Cardinals.
The fact that Mike LaFleur is coming from a winning culture and is familiar with how that culture is constructed. This is what Bidwill is hoping that can change an already very talented roster.
With the history of Mike LaFleur and the direction he leans when it comes to the quarterback position, one would say we could had seen the last of Kyler Murray in a Cardinals uniform.
LaFleur's track record would suggest more of a focus on efficiency and decision-making over raw athleticism.
LaFleur goal is to assemble a staff for the defensive play calling, one that will compliment his offensive philosophy.
The reputation of LaFleur as a coach and leadership style is one that has an "open door" and is all ears for advice from coaches and veteran players.
The winning culture from Mike LaFleur's resume and the difference in leadership style from the past head coaches in Arizona, are all promising, productive changes for the Cardinals and fans alike.
This is a great hire in the right direction for an organization that could use some good changes.
