When Michael Bidwill announced the firing of head coach Steve Wilks a week ago, the Cardinals’ president said he didn’t get it right, took full responsibility for it and then promised, “We’re going to make sure that we get it right this time around.”
Time will tell if Bidwill got it right this time with the hiring of Kliff Kingsbury, but one thing he did differently that he didn’t do in his pursuit of Wilks, was ask for help from outside of the organization in this year’s coaching search.
For that, Bidwill turned to Ernie Accorsi, the former longtime NFL executive and a trusted confidant of Bidwill’s father, Bill.
