Mike LaFleur, the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, insists he has the right coaches in place to steer the team out of its current rebuild. Despite a 1-4 record after a 45-21 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, LaFleur has ruled out any changes to his coaching staff. The team has struggled, allowing at least 30 points in four consecutive games and a league-high 162 total points.
LaFleur believes the problem lies in consistency rather than the talent on the roster. He pointed to flashes of brilliance from the defense, such as a strong start against the Lions and a Week 1 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, but noted that the team hasn't been able to maintain that level of play. The offense also faces challenges, with the Cardinals going three-and-out on five consecutive possessions after an impressive opening drive in the Lions game.
LaFleur emphasized that while the coaching staff won't be altered, the roster might be improved through trades or transfers, such as the recent move of Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Houston Texans.
