Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians is ready to make some bold declarations. He was named the NFL Coach of the Year for the 2014 season, one in which the Cardinals went 11-5 and made the playoffs despite a long list of injuries to key players. No longer worried about last season, he is ready to set the bar high for 2015. In a recent radio interview, he declared that nothing short of the Super Bowl is enough.He felt all season that the group of players he had was good enough to win it all this year at University of Phoenix Stadium. In fact, the message all season was not to let another team dress in their dressing room. After getting the Coach of the Year Award, he turned that message around, asSuper Bowl50 will be played at Levi''s Stadium, the home field of theSan Francisco 49ers. When asked what Arians planned to be doing next year for the Super Bowl, he quickly said, "Playing." "We're dressing in (San Francisco's) locker room," he said. "We can write it down today."

Only thing important is what his players think about him making this declaration. They're either going to be "STFU!" or pumped that their leader is so damn confident. I just hope his successes wherever he's been haven't gone to his head and all I can say is "Show me the money!"
Is Kurt Warner coming out of retirement? Is he mad because he didn't make the HOF and wants to prove a point? Otherwise I don't see how that could happen...
Carson Palmer is Arians only option and may be able to be effective after ACL surgery, but the fact remains the Cards have no offensive line (except Veldheer) and no running game. Only a miracle of Biblical proportions will make Arians prophetic.
