Cardinals president Michael Bidwill said on Monday that he “felt it was in the best interest of the organization to go in a different direction.”
Wiles was hired in January to replace Bruce Arians. Arians retired after five seasons as Cardinals head coach.
Michael Bidwill said the team was going to keep discussions about the head coaching search “a little closer to our vest.”https://t.co/zEKmjERzeV— Arizona Cardinals (@AZCardinals) December 31, 2018
