Jay Glazer of FOX Sports broke the news moments ago saying it will be announced tomorrow. Whisenhunt is the new Cardinals head coach, it's a done deal.

I think Whisenhunt is a better choice. He was the OC when Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl. As for Mike Sherman, remember in the playoffs in the 4th and 26 play.

Yep, official announcement should come later today. I wonder about Whisenhunt... this is a team that probably would've benefited more from a defense-minded head coach. But then, maybe the team needs a guy like this who can maybe bring the Steeler mentality to Arizona and help kick start the running game.

The Cardinals have made it official - Whisenhunt is their new head coach.

PHOENIX (AP) -- The Arizona Cardinals hired Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt as coach after a 5-11 season that culminated with Dennis Green's firing.

The 44-year-old Whisenhunt signed a four-year contract with a team option for a fifth, the Cardinals announced Sunday.

Green was fired after three seasons and a 16-32 record. Whisenhunt becomes the Cardinals' eighth coach since the franchise moved to Arizona in 1988.

Whisenhunt was one of eight candidates interviewed for the job, but one of only two who got a second interview. The other was former Green Bay Packers coach Mike Sherman.

"It's clear to us that he has all the attributes we were seeking," the AP quotes Cardinals VP Rod Graves as saying in a press release, "in terms of coaching ability, enthusiasm, organizational and leadership skills and the overall ability to lead this team to success immediately and for years to come."

So what do you guys think? Good hire for the Arizona Cardinals? Is Whisenhunt the right guy for the job?

Don't know if he is the right man for the job but I think it's definatly a good hire for them.

Arizona hasn't hired a good coach since whom? Air Coryell. I know nothing about this guy but I think they could put Vince Lombardi on the Cardinals sideline and they would go 6-10. The franchise has that kind of karma.

In the upcoming draft they should not get anything except O line help. Maybe a few DBs

Pundit said it best. Ken Whatzisname will be just another discarded coach in another couple of years.
