5 minArizona Cardinals Next Head Coach Odds: Brian Flores the Strong Favorite
With the hiring of new general manager Monti Ossenfort the Arizona Cardinals were always going to have a new focus in their head coach search. The books originally thought it may be Shane Bowen, but are now convinced it means that Brian Flores is the strong favorite.
Arizona Cardinals Next Head Coach Odds
Coach | Odds | Implied chance |
|---|---|---|
Brian Flores | +120 | 45.5% |
Sean Payton | +450 | 18.2% |
Vance Joseph | +500 | 16.7% |
DeMeco Ryans | +900 | 10% |
Frank Reich | +1200 | 7.7% |
Flores, who worked with Ossenfort in New England, is given +120 odds or an implied 45.5% chance to become the next Cardinals head coach. This change comes alongside one for former favorite Sean Payton.
The former Saints head coach, who has long been among the favorites to land the Cardinals job, is now given -180 odds to land the Denver Broncos head coach job. That has left him tumbling to +450 odds, or an implied 18.2% chance to become the next Cardinals head coach.
Vance Joseph has also seen his odds tumble down to +500, or an implied 16.7% chance to earn a promotion. DeMeco Ryans is also a longshot at +900, or an implied 10% chance to land the job.
The hire of Ossenfort changes everything about this head coaching search. The sportsbooks first thought was it would help Shane Bowen, but he quickly saw his odds drop from +600 to +1200 in this latest update. Meanwhile, Flores is now established as the clear and strong favorite to land the job.
He is an interesting choice given that he’s currently suing the NFL. The books seem to think the Cardinals are close to making up their minds, as Flores is the second-strongest favorite on the five markets.
