  SI.com - NFL - Green tabbed Cards' new head coach - Thursday January 8, 2004 12:35AM
Dennis Green, one of the winningest NFL coaches in the 1990s, signed a four-year contract Wednesday to guide the struggling Arizona Cardinals.
Green's strongest selling points to the Cardinals were his track record of getting the Vikings to the playoffs in eight of his 10 seasons in Minnesota (1992-2001), and his stellar work with quarterbacks over the course of his career.
Green's deft touch with quarterbacks is a key factor to Arizona, which holds the No. 3 overall draft pick and figures to be in position to select one of the two top-rated collegiate quarterbacks, either Ole Miss standout Eli Manning or Miami of Ohio's Ben Roethlisberger.
