    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>TEMPE, Ariz. (Oct. 17, 2006) -- Arizona Cardinals coach Dennis Green fired offensive coordinator Keith Rowen and replaced him with quarterbacks coach Mike Kruczek.The move came hours after the Cardinals blew a 20-point lead and lost to the Chicago Bears 24-23 on Monday Night Football."I've known Keith for a long time. I have the utmost respect for him," Green said. "We are not scoring enough points."Kruczek becomes Green's third offensive coordinator in the coach's 2 1/2 seasons in Arizona.Green said he was talking with Rowen about what other position he might take on the staff.Kruczek has been quarterbacks coach since Green arrived."I think his close working relationship with Matt Leinart will give us a better chance," Green said.</div>http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/ARI/9735290

    Stupid move IMO.It's not his fault they fumbled twice and allowed a Kick Return, and when clutch time came around they drove it in FG range only for the kicker to miss.

    Dunno, it might be a good move because they havent move the ball a lot in the second half like they did in the first

And they lost.
