Arizona Cardinals set Steve Wilks up to fail

There is likely two days left in the Steve Wilks era of Arizona Cardinals football.

On New Year’s Eve, the team will announce they have let go their head coach, after only one season.

And they should.

While a lot of blame falls on Wilks’ shoulders, there was little chance he was ever going to succeed with the Arizona Cardinals.

When you look at the initial press conference when Wilks was introduced, his vision of the team and then the ensuing use of assets never meshed.

Wilks wanted to stop the run and run the football.
