PHOENIX - New Cardinals coach Bruce Arians named his top assistants Monday, hiring Todd Bowles as defensive coordinator, Harold Goodwin as offensive coordinator and Tom Moore as assistant head coach/offense.
Moore's addition is intriguing. He has 34 years' experience as an NFL assistant, 12 years as Peyton Manning's offensive coordinator with the Indianapolis Colts.
Bowles comes from Philadelphia, where he was promoted to defensive coordinator in October. Goodwin was offensive line coach in Indianapolis and Pittsburgh.
