LaFleur’s Win Breaks 50-Year Streak | Arizona Cardinals News

The Arizona Cardinals stunned the NFL world by winning their season opener — a rare feat for a new head coach. Mike LaFleur’s debut victory marks the first time since 1973 that a Cardinals’ rookie coach has started with a win, breaking a 50-year drought. With only six of the franchise’s 25 pre-1973 coaches managing opening-day wins, this moment feels like a turning point. While legends like Don Coryell and Bruce Arians carved out historic win totals, the Cardinals’ coaching carousel has spun wildly since 1978 — 14 coaches in just 46 years. LaFleur’s win is a hopeful spark, but history whispers caution: can he build lasting stability or just another fleeting triumph?
