Arizona Cardinals rebuild with Mike LaFleur as head coach for 2026 season

The Arizona Cardinals have appointed Mike LaFleur as head coach for the 2026 season. The team enters this year in rebuild mode, having finished the previous season with a 3-14 record under Jonathan Gannon, who was recently fired. With Kyler Murray no longer on the roster, Jacoby Brissett is expected to take on the starting quarterback role amid contract disputes. The Cardinals are aiming for a ceiling of 5-11 wins this season, while facing the possibility of a floor as low as 1-16 due to a challenging schedule and roster limitations.
