Arizona Cardinals part ways with head coach, Kliff Kingsbury

The Cardinals finished 2022 with a 4-13 record

The Cardinals fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury on Monday, January 9, 2023, after a 4-13 finish

The Arizona Cardinals have fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury after four seasons. The Cardinals finished the 2022 season with a 4-13 record, and Kingsbury's overall record with the team was 28-37-1.

Kingsbury was hired by the Cardinals in 2019 after a successful stint as head coach at Texas Tech. Kingsbury was known for his innovative offensive mind, and he was expected to help the Cardinals take the next step after they went 3-13 in 2018.

The Cardinals showed some improvement under Kingsbury, but they never lived up to expectations. The team went 5-10-1 in 2019 and 8-8 in 2020. In 2021, the Cardinals started 7-0 and looked like a legitimate contender, but they finished the season 4-6 and missed the playoffs.

The Cardinals' struggles continued in 2022. The team lost its first four games and never really recovered. Kingsbury was fired after the Cardinals lost to the Denver Broncos in Week 17.

The Cardinals will now begin the search for a new head coach. The team has a number of talented players, including quarterback Kyler Murray, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, and running back James Conner. However, the Cardinals have a lot of work to do to improve their defense and become a contender in the NFC West.
