'Increasing chatter' Arizona will hire Arians

Cardinals Offense - TM - Arizona Cardinals

According to Profootballtalk, there is "increasing chatter" the Cardinals will offer their head-coaching job to Colts OC Bruce Arians.

Arizona is Arians' last chance for a promotion after he was passed over for the Chargers and Bears' jobs. 49ers OC Greg Roman replacing Mike Mularkey in Jacksonville is viewed as a fait accompli in league circles. PFT reports the Cardinals insisting on potential hires retaining DC Ray Horton could be a hang-up, but we doubt the 60-year-old Arians would let that stand in the way of what could be his last, best chance to land a head gig.
