The Facts: Former Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, who announced his retirement last week, did an interview now saying he wasn't going to be brought back by Pittsburgh anyway. The retirement might not last long. Connecting the dots, Arians would be a prime candidate for the Cards' vacant QB coach position if he were interested.

Diehards Line:NFL Network's Jason La Canfora already reported the Cards had reached out - since Arians was the QB coach in Pittsburgh when Cardinals HC Ken Whisenhunt was offensive coordinator there and AZCardinals.com staffer Darren Urban notes there was speculation Whisenhunt had been interested in bringing Arians with him to Arizona before Mike Tomlin made Arians his OC. Whisenhunt and the rest of the coaching staff is in Mobile, Ala., this week scouting Senior Bowl practices. Whisenhunt was expected to conduct interviews for his open spot on the coaching staff there.
