Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast has been released of his duties as defensive coordinator just one week after Arizona lost Super Bowl XLIII.
"Like every decision, it comes down to what's best for the team and what gives us the best chance to win," coach Ken Whisenhunt said in a statement released by the team.
Pedergast was one of the Dennis Green holdovers and was hired in 2004. An NFL coach since 1995 working with Houston (Oilers not Texans),Dallas and Cleveland. The Cardinals defense ranked 19th in the NFL in overall defense in the regular season, giving up 331.5 yards per game. They were 22nd in pass defense and 16th against the run.
"From a timing standpoint, we wanted to be fair to Clancy and give him a chance to seek the best possible opportunity in which to continue his career," Whisenhunt said. "In terms of filling the position, we have some people in mind both internally and externally and will begin that process immediately."
