ESPN analyst could see Cardinals making a coaching change

Three years ago the Arizona Cardinals lost seven games in a row.

Last season they dropped six straight.

This season? The losing skid is at six and counting.

Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt’s tenure in the desert started well enough, as his team won eight, nine and 10 games in his first three seasons. Arizona won the NFC West twice during that stretch and even reached the Super Bowl.

But things have gone south since Kurt Warner retired, as the offense is unable to play well enough to support a playoff-caliber defense. And given the fact that Whisenhunt is an offensive coach, one wonders how safe his job will be barring a strong finish to the 2012 season.
