Clayton Tune: The Fateful Path of an NFL Legacy by Walter Mitchell photo: @azcardinals.com via Instagram During the second night of the 2023 NFL Draft, Clayton Tune received a call from the Green Bay Packers. The Packers wanted to assure Clayton of their interest in drafting the University of Houston quarterback at some point on day three. When the Arizona Cardinals selected Clayton Tune with the #139 pick a day later, he was surprised, given that the Cardinals had not expressed any significant interest in him during the pre-draft process. The Cardinals were not one of the six teams that brought him in for 30 visits (Texans, Saints, Browns, Steelers, Bucs, Giants). Tune had also been given a private workout by the Rams. The eventual link the Cardinals had to Clayton Tune was that Israel Woolfork was one of his coaches at the Senior Bowl. At that time, Woolfork had just finished his second year of a Bill Walsh/Bill Willis coaching fellowship with the Cleveland Browns. A...
I like Harbough but it's never going to happen. I saw this on youtube.

Coach Harbaugh walking Loop into the locker room with his arm around him is the epitome of what a class act and genuine professional he is. Thanks for sharing, Jethro!
DeleteFlores and McDaniel-dream staff!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see them bring in Flores for an interview and not let him leave until he was hired if possible. The fact that his name hasn't been mentioned yet worries me he won't get the interview. Don't think that we have a shot at Harbaugh. So then I'd look at Kubiak or McCarthey. I think we'd be thrilled if McCarthey could do here what he has done at Green Bay and even Dallas.
DeleteI was listening this morning when the McDaniel news dropped! I don’t see him as a realistic possibility for this franchise, but would make splashes if they could get him on board!
ReplyDeleteI am not saying we should have kept Gannon or anything like that, but you have continually criticized the fact that Gannon took an interview during SB week and broke rules. In another world, they could have conducted the interview without penalty, they just didn't do it right. Regardless of whether Monti/ JG broke the rules, should any of these playoff coaches be interviewing with the Cardinals or any other team until their team has been eliminated? Or is it different if they scheduled it properly?
ReplyDeleteScheduled properly is how it’s done and it’s not a minor mistake for any professional to break simple rules in a coaching hire. 32 teams manage to do it ethically and according to the rules. Zoom calls accommodate all coaches who are planning for upcoming games, any who dont want to interview can postpone when their season is over. Been this way for almost 2 decades. MO and JG are the only 2 in the recent nfl who couldn’t manage this and it cost the franchise a 3rd rounder. What does that tell all of us. Walt is 1000% to call them out on it.
