what we are going to do. I guess Larry (Fitzgerald) has put up with this for like, eight years, so I guess I can put up with it for one."

Arians said he will return from this weekend's game from Seattle, get everything settled from the season and then sit down with his family to talk about next year. He said the decision will come "between Monday and February, whenever (team president) Michael (Bidwill) lets me."

He said that while he and his wife Christine were OK with the forced retirement he was facing back in 2013 after being let go from the Steelers as offensive coordinator, Arians said he "hit the lottery" in terms of coaching when Colts coach Chuck Pagano hired him and then he was subsequently hired to be head coach of the Cardinals in 2013.

Arians notched his 49th win with the team on Sunday against the Giants, which tied Ken Whisenhunt for the most in franchise history. His 48 regular season wins are already the most among Cardinals head coaches.

Arians admitted one of the lures to stay is the fear of missing out on a potential Super Bowl. He said he is in better health than last season, and that makes it easier to want to continue. He added that he still loves what he is doing.

"I got up at 5 this morning and was excited to get here," Arians said. "That hasn't changed."
