azcentral.com blogs - Kent Somers - Pursuing an assistant coach
Most head coaches I've known like to fill staff positions before they head to Mobile, Ala., to scout prospects in the Senior Bowl. That's because the event is a job fair as well as an all-star game. Unemployed coaches attend, hoping to finagle interviews and jobs. Head coaches can be inundated by potential candidates. It's an awkward situation for everyone. So I'm sure Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt has been approached by more than one coach looking for a job. Whisenhunt has one opening on his staff, quarterbacks coach, and is expected to interview some candidates while at the Senior Bowl. Those candidates include former Raiders head coach Hue Jackson. Several news outlets have reported that the Cardinals have also made contact with former Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians.
