Arizona Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur near bottom of HC win projections
As expected, Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur is projected to win fewer games almost all the other new head coaches in 2026.
Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur is among the 10 new head coaches in the league this year, and his team is projected to win the fewest games in 2026 according to NFL.com's Bucky Brooks. LaFleur, who was ranked ninth by Brooks, will attempt to revitalize a squad that has only made the playoffs once in the past decade, focusing on a strong team culture and positive energy.
The offense, featuring dynamic players like rookie running back Jeremiyah Love and young wide receivers Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr., shows promise, but the defense remains a major concern after struggling last season. LaFleur will need to develop a franchise quarterback and instill fundamental defensive principles to turn this potentially exciting but underwhelming team into a playoff contender.
