TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) _ The Arizona Cardinals have their next head coach.
A person with knowledge of the situation says the team filled the NFL’s final head coaching vacancy by hiring Indianapolis offensive coordinator Bruce Arians.
The 60-year-old longtime assistant went 9-3 as Colts interim head coach while Chuck Pagano was undergoing treatment for leukemia last season.
Arians replaces Ken Whisenhunt, who was fired on New Year’s Eve following the team’s second 5-11 finish in three years.
