With the Super Bowl coming to Arizona, so too will some Cardinals' coaching candidates for a second time.

On Sunday, NFL Network reported on Sunday that the Cardinals will interview Steelers linebackers coach Brian Flores again this week, one of multiple second interviews expected.

NFL Network reported on Saturday that the Cardinals -- who along with the Colts remain the only teams needing to hire a head coach -- that both Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo and Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka were expected to get second interviews with the Cardinals at some point during the upcoming Super Bowl week.

The Anarumo interview was expected to be later in the week. The hire could end up the latest the Cardinals have made for a head coach since moving to Arizona; Buddy Ryan was hired in Feb. 3, 1996, Joe Bugel on Feb. 5, 1990, and Vince Tobin was hired Feb. 7, 1994.

Sports Illustrated reported the other existing candidates -- Cardinals defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, and Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan -- were informed they were no longer in the running. Broncos defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero reportedly took a job on Sunday as the Panthers defensive coordinator.

Flores is also reportedly in the process of either interviewing or planning on interviewing for defensive coordinator positions elsewhere.
