The Arizona Cardinals have appointed Mike LaFleur as their new head coach, marking a significant shift in the team's fortunes. With a focus on offensive strategy, LaFleur, the younger brother of Packers coach Matt LaFleur, brings a wealth of experience. He previously served as the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets under Robert Saleh in 2021 and 2022, and under Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams in 2025, where the team led the NFL in yards and points per game. This appointment comes after a challenging period for the Cardinals, who fired Jonathan Gannon following a 3-14 record in 2025, the worst in his tenure. The team now faces the task of addressing the future of quarterback Kyler Murray, who struggled with injuries and performance in 2025, raising questions about his long-term role in the team's success.
