Editing Curly Lambeau (section)

====Chicago Cardinals====
After resigning from the Packers, Lambeau filled the open head coach position of the [[Chicago Cardinals]]. In addition to the position of head coach, Lambeau also was named vice president and was given complete control of personnel choices–effectively giving him the same control over football matters that he'd had in Green Bay.<ref>{{Cite news | url = http://archive.jsonline.com/sports/packers/209875401.html/ | newspaper = [[Milwaukee Journal Sentinel]] | date = January 31, 1950 | title = Curly Lambeau Quits to Coach the Cardinals | access-date = November 17, 2019 | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20191117201348/http://archive.jsonline.com/sports/packers/209875401.html/ | archive-date = November 17, 2019}}</ref> He traded [[Paul Christman]], part of the "[[Million Dollar Backfield (Chicago Cardinals)|Million Dollar Backfield]]" that had won the 1947 title to the [[Green Bay Packers]] in favor of trying to push [[Jim Hardy]] for a greater passing attack. He proceeded to throw eight interceptions in his first game versus Philadelphia, a record. In [[1950 Chicago Cardinals season|1950 season]], the Cardinals ended the season 5–7, failing to improve upon its record in the previous season and missing out on the postseason. The [[1951 Chicago Cardinals season|1951 season]] went even worse for Lambeau and the Cardinals; the team ended the season 3–9 and again failed to reach the postseason. He resigned after the tenth game while stating that "No man can do a satisfactory job if he constantly is harassed by front office second-guessing", while the Cardinals management publicly accused Lambeau of losing the trust of his coaches and players.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://sportshistorynetwork.com/football/nfl/curly-lambeau-coach-chicago-cardinals/ | title=Curly Lambeau's Last (Almost) Hurrah!
