The Arizona Cardinals’ list of head-coaching candidates has included 16 known prospects since the franchise got to work after Jonathan Gannon’s firing.
It got shorter this week with some of those candidates taking other open positions. On Friday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter told The Pat McAfee Show he knows of three candidates whom he believes Arizona remains interested in.

“They had in Anthony Campanile, the Jaguars defensive coordinator, yesterday,” Schefter said. “I still think they’re looking at Raheem Morris and Mike LaFleur, the Rams offensive coordinator who’s involved this weekend.”
Campanile is the only known candidate among the trio that has met twice with the Cardinals this coaching search.

He turned around Jacksonville’s defense for the better in 2025, with the Jaguars allowing the fewest rushing yards (85.6) and eighth fewest points per game (19.8). It was just Campanile’s first year as a defensive coordinator, too.
Before his time in Jacksonville, Campanile had prior NFL stops with Green Bay (2024) and Miami (2020-23).
Morris is the lone head coach of the bunch.
He’s on the hunt for a new job after back-to-back 8-9 seasons as the Atlanta Falcons’ head coach.
On top of his time in Atlanta, Morris also served as Tampa Bay’s head coach from 2009-11.
His all-time record as a head coach, including his 11-game stint as Atlanta’s interim in 2020, is 37-56 (.398).
He’s also got some NFC West experience working as the Rams’ DC from 2021-23.
LaFleur, another person who has worked under Rams head coach Sean McVay, is the only candidate among the trio preparing for a conference championship this weekend.
The brother of Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, Mike LaFleur has been Rams OC since 2023.
This past regular season, the Rams ranked atop the NFL in total yards (394.6), passing yards (268.1) and points per game (30.5).
