The Arizona Cardinals possibly will be part of what will appear to be a defensive coordinator trade with the Chicago Bears. If Arizona hires Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur to be the Cardinals’ new coach, it seems likely he would bring Vic Fangio to be his defensive coordinator.

Fangio was the DC for the Chicago Bears.

If he leaves Chicago, he could potentially be replaced by Arizona’s current defensive coordinator, James Bettcher.

Shurmur is reportedly the favorite to land the Cardinals’ coaching job.

Fangio runs a 3-4 defense like the Cardinal have had for several seasons. Fangio would be a bit of a familiar face in the NFC West, as he was defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers from 2011-2014, when they were one of the top defenses in the league.
