Confident Arians Aims For The Top as Cardinals Open Camp

2015-Lacky Monument-St. Louis Cardinals Engraved BoulderGLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Coach Bruce Arians says he has one expectation for the Arizona Cardinals.

That’s putting on the ring of a Super Bowl champion. As the Cardinals reported for training camp on Friday, Arians said anything less will be “unsuccessful and unacceptable.”

The Cardinals were 9-1 last year before injuries, especially at quarterback, sent the season on a downward spin that ended with an 11-6 record and a Wild Card playoff loss at Carolina.

Still, Arians was named NFL coach of the year for the second time in three seasons.

But don’t tell him about the rigors of training camp. Not under today’s rules.

He called it “Camp Cupcake,” one practice and one walk-through a day and staying in a hotel.

The team won’t practice in pads until Monday.
