I'm 63, and if someone offered me a promotion to a higher position, that I was pretty sure was not going to work out, I'd turn it down. BECAUSE he's 56, he needs to be extra cautious about where he would go, becauae he's probably only going to get 1 chance. If he DCs here another year and the defense stays as it is, he will have more and better options. Murray is a head case that will not be ready to go for the majority of next season. That said, they aren't going to be able to bring in anyone good to start the season, because they know halfway or three quarters of the way through the season the rug will be yanked from under them when Murray comes back. It's a horrible situation for a new HC to go in to, and Arizona is not Mike Brown, the coach wont get three years...

If he took the job today he'd be the 10th oldest coach in the NFL. I'd assert it's probably time to get started. If he has any asperations of being an NFL HC he'd be a fool to turn down a job where offered. They just replaced their GM. Other than Buddy Ryan's tenure as head coach and GM in 1994 and 1995, Ossenfort is the first Cardinals' GM to be hired from outside the organization since Joe Sullivan came from Washington and manned the role from 1973-79.

Teams change and Lou could be a huge part of that change. Imagine what folks were saying about the Cincy job before Zac came here.
