The Arizona Cardinals are expected to file a second interview request to speak with Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line coach Mike Munchak for their head coaching opening, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. They're rumored to be doing the same thing with Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports.
Since head coach Bruce Arians announced his retirement Jan. 1, Cardinals president Michael Bidwill has said the team would take its time determining Arians' successor. They've interviewed nine candidates for the position.
Munchak has three years of head coaching experience, leading the Tennessee Titans from 2011-2013. He's been the Steelers O-line coach in the four seasons since.
DeFilippo is partly credited for Carson Wentz's development in his second year. The coach joined the Eagles in 2016 after spending the previous campaign as offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns.
The Cardinals have also interviewed defensive coordinator James Bettcher, Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia, Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores, Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, and Atlanta Falcons special teams coach Keith Armstrong.
