Could the Arizona Cardinals' coaching search be down to two candidates?

DraftKings' latest odds for who could replace Kliff Kingsbury as the coach of the NFL franchise favor Brian Flores or Sean Payton to land the job.

Flores, the former coach of the Miami Dolphins, is listed at -130 in the odds as of Monday morning.

Payton, the former coach of the New Orleans Saints, is at +120.

Both have interviewed for the position, with Payton reportedly spending a lot of time at Cardinals' headquarters in Tempe on Thursday.

Two other Cardinals candidates pulled out of the running last week when the Carolina Panthers hired former Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich as their new coach and when Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn reportedly decided to stay in Dallas.

Vance Joseph, the defensive coordinator for the Cardinals under Kingsbury, is third in DraftKings' odds to become the next coach of the Cardinals at +550. Joseph has also interviewed with Arizona.

Philadelphia Eagles' defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon is now fourth in the odds at +750.

Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Shane Bowen comes in at No. 5 at +950.

Interestingly, Quinn had been second in DraftKings' odds to coach the Cardinals before pulling his name out of consideration last Thursday. It had him at +150 at the time, only behind Flores, who was at +100.

Joseph was at +500 on Thursday and San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans was at +750. Ryans is now at +2500 for the job.

Payton was at +1000 in Thursday's odds before his visit with the Cardinals.
