List of Arizona Cardinals head coaches - wikipedia List of Arizona Cardinals head coaches Bud Wilkinson ( right ) with United States President John F. Kennedy, during a 1961 visit to the White House. Wilkinson was the 26th head coach of the Cardinals. The Arizona Cardinals are a professional American football team based in Glendale, Arizona. They are a member of the Western Division of the National Football Conference ( NFC ) in the National Football League ( NFL ). The team began as the Morgan Athletic Club in 1898 in Chicago, Illinois. The team 's second name was the Racine Normals, since it played at Normal Field on Racine Street. In 1901, they were renamed to the Racine Street Cardinals, a name that came from the University of Chicago jerseys that the team used, which were described as `` Cardinal red ''. The team was established in Chicago in 1898 and was a charter member of the NFL in 1920. The team has played their home games at the University of Phoenix Stadium since 2006 and is the oldest franchise in the NFL. The team has moved to numerous cities during its history. After staying in Chicago from 1920 to 1959, it moved to St. Louis, Missouri and remained there from 1960 to 1987. It played in Tempe, Arizona, from 1988 to 2005, before eventually settling in Glendale, Arizona in 2006, where it now resides. Since 1920, two Cardinals coaches have won the NFL Championship : Norman Barry in 1925 and Jimmy Conzelman in 1947. Five other coaches -- Don Coryell, Jim Hanifan, Vince Tobin, Ken Whisenhunt and Bruce Arians -- have led the Cardinals to the playoffs, and in 2009 they went to the Super Bowl. There have been 40 head coaches for the Cardinals franchise since it became a professional team in 1920 ; fourteen of the team 's coaches are former Cardinals players. Ernie Nevers and Jimmy Conzelman are the only coaches to have had more than one tenure with the team. Pop Ivy and Gene Stallings both coached the team during its move from one city to another. Cardinals coach Roy Andrews is tied for the lowest winning percentage among the team 's coaches (. 000 ), having lost the only game he coached, in 1931. Co-coach Walt Kiesling lost all 10 games he coached in 1943, when the team merged with the Steelers during World War II and was known as Card - Pitt. Co-coaches Ray Willsey, Ray Prochaska, and Chuck Drulis have the highest winning percentage among Cardinals coaches ( 1.000 ). The team 's all - time leader in games coached is Ken Whisenhunt, who was hired on January 14, 2007, with 96. The all - time leader in wins is Whisenhunt with 45. Whisenhunt was fired on December 31, 2012, after the Cardinals recorded a 5 -- 11 record in 2012.
