The Cardinals needed to make this move as much, if not more, than Vegas needed to move on from their coach. Who should the Cardinals hire? This is always a conundrum at the professional level. Put your chips in the middle on a potential wunderkind, a seasoned coach (bench, batting, pitching, 1st or 3rd base, etc), or a re-tread manager? In every sport, these are the options, the NFL and NBA (not so much NHL and MLB) also add a fourth tier “the exciting college coach” with mixed results.
