PHOENIX (AP) -Clancy Pendergast won’t return as defensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals, two local media outlets reported on Friday.
The Arizona Republic quoted NFL sources as saying Pendergast would not return but said it wasn’t known if he was leaving to take another position or had been dismissed. XTRA sports radio reported that Pendergast had been fired.
Cardinals general manager Rod Graves did not return messages left on his cell phone by The Associated Press and the team had no comment on the reports.
Pendergast was hired by Dennis Green and was retained on the staff when Ken Whisenhunt took over as coach in 2007.
The move would leave the Cardinals in need of both coordinators. Offensive coordinator Todd Haley resigned to become head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs.
