The Arizona Cardinals are expected to keep Nick Rallis as their defensive coordinator, according to CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz. But here's where it gets interesting: while Rallis has been with the team since 2023, his performance has been under scrutiny. Last season, Arizona's defense allowed 357.7 yards and 28.7 points per game, which ranked 27th and 29th in the NFL, respectively. This news comes after Zenitz reported that the Cardinals had interviewed Karl Scott, a defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks, for the DC job. Scott was one of several coaches linked to the Cardinals' DC opening, including Aubrey Pleasant, Charlie Bullen, and Dino Vasso. The Cardinals have also added offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, running backs coach Matt Merritt, and wide receivers coach Tony Sorrentino to the staff. So, while Rallis may be staying on, the team is making some changes to their coaching staff. This is a controversial move, as some fans and analysts believe that Rallis should have been let go after the team's poor defensive performance. But is it fair to judge his success based on the team's overall record? And what do you think about the Cardinals' decision to keep Rallis? Let us know in the comments below!
