Arizona Cardinals fire head coach Kliff Kingsbury, schedule interview with Sean Payton

The Arizona Cardinals have fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury after four seasons, the team announced on Monday.

Kingsbury went 28-37-1 in four seasons with the Cardinals, including a 4-13 record this season. The Cardinals have not made the playoffs since 2015.

The Cardinals have scheduled an interview with former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Payton, who won a Super Bowl with the Saints in 2009, retired after the 2021 season.

Payton is considered one of the best coaches in the NFL, and he would be a major upgrade for the Cardinals.

However, it is unclear if Payton is interested in the Cardinals job. Payton has said that he is looking for a team with a strong quarterback, and the Cardinals do not currently have one on their roster.

The Cardinals have also been linked to other coaching candidates, including former Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich and former Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio.

However, Payton is the most high-profile candidate on the market, and he would be a major coup for the Cardinals if they can land him.

The Cardinals are hoping to make a quick decision on their next head coach, as they want to get a head start on the offseason.

The Cardinals have several holes on their roster, and they need to find a coach who can help them turn things around.

Kingsbury was hired by the Cardinals in 2019, and he was given a six-year contract.

However, the Cardinals never lived up to expectations under Kingsbury, and they fired him after four seasons.

The Cardinals are now looking for their fourth head coach in the past six years.

They are hoping to find a coach who can help them get back to the playoffs and compete for a Super Bowl.

Payton is the most qualified candidate on the market, and he would be a major upgrade for the Cardinals.

However, it is unclear if Payton is interested in the Cardinals job. The Cardinals will need to do their due diligence and make sure that Payton is the right fit for their team.
