| Tempe, AZ (MySportsbook) - The Arizona Cardinals announced on Thursday that defensive coordinator Bill Davis has been relieved of his duties. Davis had been promoted to that job in February, 2009, less than three weeks after the Cardinals lost Super Bowl XLIII to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Prior to that, he spent 2007-08 as linebackers coach with the Cardinals after serving as defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers from 2005-06. However, the Cards gave up 325 points in 2009 and finished second-worst |

| (MySportsbook) - In his mind's eye, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley sees another team. The 2008 Arizona Cardinals. According to Haley, whose current Chiefs completed an unlikely turnaround from 4-12 last season to AFC West champions this year, some similarities exist between his team of 2010 and those Cardinals of two years ago, who came within a minute of winning a Super Bowl championship against Pittsburgh. Back then Haley was offensive coordinator for Arizona, which won nine games in the regular s |

| e top. 49ERS: There will be a lot of change coming to the disappointing San Francisco 49ers this offseason. Expected to contend for the NFC West title, the club never really got it going after an 0-5 start. Though Sunday's 38-7 home victory over the Arizona Cardinals helped the 6-10 team avoid a last-place finish, it offers little to the lost season. Look for the 49ers to begin filling some open vacancies over the next few weeks. First will be the general manager position, with current vice president of player p |

| (MySportsbook) - A former No. 1 overall pick will make a return -- albeit not necessarily a triumphant one -- to the starting quarterback's role when the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals in the 2010 season finale for both teams this Sunday. Alex Smith, chosen first by the Niners out of the University of Utah in 2005, has spent much of his sixth NFL season in tumult after missing five games due to injury, then losing his No. 1 role to Troy Smith under the reign of now ex- head coach Mike Singleta |

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - Interim 49ers coach Jim Tomsula has made his pick: Alex Smith will start at quarterback in San Francisco's final game Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Tomsula says the decision was based on Smith's experience. Smith was benched for last Sunday's must-win game at St. Louis in favor of Troy Smith. But coach Mike Singletary, who was later fired, went back to Alex Smith in the fourth quarter of the 49ers' 25-17 loss. San Francisco (5-10) has missed the playoffs for the eighth |

Defensive line coach Jim Tomsula will handle duties in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Arizona Cardinals.
