Arizona Cardinals Hire Mike LaFleur as Head Coach

The Arizona Cardinals have officially appointed Mike LaFleur as their new head coach, signing the former Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator to a five-year contract. Following the dismissal of Jonathan Gannon, team leadership selected LaFleur for his creative offensive mind and his history with successful programs in the NFC West. He becomes the fourth assistant under Sean McVay to earn a head coaching role, joining his brother Matt LaFleur in the NFL’s top coaching ranks. The move comes as the Cardinals look to revitalize a franchise that struggled through a 3-14 season and faces significant roster decisions regarding quarterback Kyler Murray. LaFleur is tasked with orchestrating an immediate turnaround for a team currently holding the third overall pick in the upcoming draft.
