Reason Why Arizona Cardinals HC Search Taking So Long Revealed

The Arizona Cardinals have been searching for a Head Coach for the past three weeks, and despite interviewing plenty of candidates, some of which who received multiple interviews, the potential reason why a hiring has been held up has been revealed.

That reason is also one of their biggest positives, as potential Head Coaches have issues with potentially being tied down to Kyler Murray's massive contract, and while he's a great Quarterback, it appears being stuck with him may not be as good as expected.

The reason that the #Cardinals head coaching search is taking a long time to fill is related to QB Kyler Murray’s contract, per @PFN365

There's at least four candidates left for the job, and whoever does take it will come in with plenty of pressure on their shoulders, but if they can get the best out of Murray, we could be looking at a playoff squad in 2023.
