Return of Anthony Campanile and Grant Udinski

Both Campanile and Udinski, who serve as the club’s defensive and offensive coordinators, respectively, have reportedly agreed to new terms with the organization. This development likely means that they will receive contract extensions as part of their continued roles.

Head Coaching Search Updates

In recent weeks, Anthony Campanile was considered a candidate for the head coaching position at Arizona. However, current developments suggest he is no longer in the running. On the other hand, Mike LaFleur, the offensive coordinator for the Rams, is being interviewed for the role.

Continuing on the coaching carousel, Udinski has also been part of discussions with other teams. He interviewed for positions with the Cleveland Browns and the Buffalo Bills. Nonetheless, he has removed himself from consideration for the Browns’ job after Buffalo elevated Joe Brady to the head coach position.
