Cardinals Hire Rams Offensive Coordinator Mike LaFleur as Head Coach
Mike LaFleur, known for leading the Rams' top-ranked offense in 2025, is signed to a five-year contract to improve the Cardinals' franchise-worst offense.
- On Tuesday, the Arizona Cardinals hired Mike LaFleur, the Rams offensive coordinator, as head coach on a five-year deal, sources said.
- Following a 3-14 season and a franchise-worst 14 losses, the Cardinals fired Jonathan Gannon on Jan. 5, prompting their search for a new head coach.
- A pupil of Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan, LaFleur spent three seasons with the Rams, who led the NFL in multiple offensive categories in 2025, according to sources.
- The hire raises a key quarterback question, with Kyler Murray's future in Arizona in heavy doubt, as LaFleur may prefer a quarterback who fits his system, sources said.
- As the coaching carousel wound down, the Arizona Cardinals were the last team to name a head coach, while former Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon quickly joined the Green Bay Packers as defensive coordinator on Monday.
