[Adam Schefter] Sources: The Arizona Cardinals fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who 10 months ago signed a contract extension through the 2027 season. The Cardinals still never have had a head coach – any head coach – last longer than six years while the team has existed for over 100 years.

He took the job as long as he was allowed to take Kyler Murray at #1 in the draft. Factoring his height and the seriousness of the leg injury, Murray may not be good for much longer. Look at Russell Wilson… a short QB that has lost a step when it comes to scrambling. Murray is even shorter and can’t see over his OL’s heads unless he drops back 7+ steps or gets outside. The Cards may be in rebuild mode soon.
Interesting see what happens to Kyler Murray
The cardinal curse?
What a disaster of an organization
That one agent who has the trio of Keim, Kingsbury and Kyler pulled off one of the great heists in NFL history
Sounds like a cheap higher for the Pats. What’s a job he has never done before? He can be in charge of that.
Watching Hard Knocks he’s definitely cringe. From his four agreements poster, to his speeches to the players, it just seemed like such canned motivational rah rah without being genuine. I don’t doubt he knows football but seeing the difference between him and Dan Campbell is just night and day.
So they’re going for Jim Harbaugh?
> …the team has existed for over 100 years.
Wait WHAT??
> The team was established in Chicago in 1898 as the Morgan Athletic Club, and joined the NFL as a charter member on September 17, 1920.[5] The Cardinals are the oldest continuously run professional football franchise in the United States,[2][7] as well as one of only two NFL charter member franchises still in operation since the league’s founding, the other also from Chicago, the Chicago Bears (the Green Bay Packers were an independent team and did not join the NFL until a year after its creation in 1921).
Well damn. TIL.
Does he get any of the money remaining on his contract?
Kyler Murray has never been a good QB. Next season might be his last in AZ.
How much money does Kingsbury get out of this?
ABOUT TIME
The Bidwells may be the worst owners in all of professional sports. They don’t know how to run a football team after 90 years of futility. They’re cheap. They don’t know football. They hire incompetent people who don’t know football. They have a history of poor contracts. They are the armpit of the nfl. Kingsbury is gone but the next coach will likely be no more successful. Nobody thinks Vance Joseph is the answer outside the Cardinals decision makers. The Hopkins and Murray contracts will hamper their future. They lack depth at every position.
Getting paid until 2027 but not having to do any of the work after 2022? “How unfortunate for me” – Kliffleberry
They are who we thought they were
Just for comparative reference, the Pittsburgh Steelers have had 3 head coaches since 1969.
9 million a year for 3 more years.
Worst. Franchise. Ever.
This is a serious reflection upon how inept the Bidwell family is in running a professional franchise. The only current NFL owners to not have made riches outside of football and it shows. I’ve said this before and I’ll reiterate again: the Cardinals will never be successful under Bidwell ownership.
Please next coach fired be Scott Turner
Still can’t believe people actually thought Kyler would be an NFL super star lmfaooo
The anti Steelers of coaching stability
The WOAT of nfl teams and I’m a fan.
They are who we thought they were.
If we could all be so lucky. $27 million to sit at home for 3 years. It’s not like a normal person getting fired where they’re wondering how they’re gonna pay rent next month.
