Whisenhunt coming for second interview


TEMPE, Ariz. -- Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator
Ken Whisenhunt will get a second interview for the head coaching
job of the Arizona Cardinals.

Whisenhunt was scheduled to be in Tempe for the session Friday,
joining former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike Sherman as the
candidates to get a second meeting with Cardinals officials.

Sherman got his second interview on Thursday.

It was not known whether any others would join Whisenhunt and
Sherman as finalists to replace Dennis Green, who was fired after
three losing seasons.

Whisenhunt and fellow Steelers' assistant Russ Grimm are
considered leading candidates to replace Bill Cowher in Pittsburgh.
Whisenhunt also interviewed for the coaching jobs with the Atlanta
Falcons and Miami Dolphins.

The Falcons hired Louisville coach Bobby Petrino, but the
Pittsburgh and Miami jobs remain open.

Whisenhunt initially was interviewed by the Cardinals in Tempe
last Friday. Grimm, the Steelers' assistant head coach-offensive
line, was in town for his interview on Tuesday.

In all, the Cardinals had initial interviews with eight
prospective coaches.

The others include Tennessee offensive coordinator Norm Chow,
Chicago defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, San Diego offensive
coordinator Cam Cameron and Indianapolis assistant head
coach-quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell.

Clancy Pendergast, defensive coordinator on Green's staff and
still under contract by the Cardinals, also was interviewed but is
not believed to be a serious candidate.

Sherman, currently assistant head coach of the Houston Texans,
coached the Packers for six seasons. His teams went 53-27 from 2000
through 2004, but he was fired after going 4-12 in 2005.

If Whisenhut gets the job the cards could end up putting 35 pts a game on the scoreboard. Now if they could only get the D figured out. Cards may wind up with a solid coach and get the team headed in the right direction.

Well, I think they need to get the OL and RB situation figured out too. Edge might be a bit better with a good OL, however, I don't see him as a long term RB for them. Though Whisenhunt could get them going in the right direction.
