KLIFF KINGSBURY

The Patriots are set to begin interviewing offensive coordinator candidates for 2023. Here's a starter list for Bill Belichick.

The Cardinals made the first big hire of the offseason, tabbing Titans director of player personnel Monti Ossenfort to be their next GM.

The Arizona Cardinals have hired Monti Ossenfort as their new general manager. Ossenfort joins the Cardinals after three seasons as the director of player personnel for the Tennessee Titans. Keim spent 10 seasons as Arizona's general manager. He oversaw the Kingsbury era that saw the Cardinals make a single playoff appearance in four seasons with Kyler Murray at quarterback. "It was critically-important for us to find the right person to lead us as general manager and there is no doubt in my mind that we have that in Monti Ossenfort,"Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill said in a statement.

Former Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury is not currently interested in taking another coaching job, per FOX Sports' Peter Schrager.

Former Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury is taking advantage of being fired with five years left on his contract. He bought a one-way ticket to Thailand.

It sounds like Kingsbury is going on a long vacation. Kingsbury booked a one-way trip to Thailand and told teams asking if he'd like an offensive coordinator job that he's not interested right now, according to Peter Schrager of Fox. When Kingsbury was fired, it was speculated right away that he could get another job right away as an offensive coordinator. Despite Kingsbury not succeeding as Arizona's head coach, he got the job because of his reputation as an offensive playcaller. After constant scrutiny for four seasons as Cardinals coach, escaping to Thailand and reevaluating things in the future probably sounds like a good plan.

Arizona needs an aligned GM/coach tandem, with priority No. 1 being to get the best out of QB Kyler Murray when he's healthy again.

The NFL coaching carousel is turning. Here is a breakdown of coaching and general manager changes and corresponding interviews.

The Arizona Cardinals fired coach Kliff Kingsbury on Monday and social media had thoughts. Did it ever.

“We have announced that head coach Kliff Kingsbury has been relieved of his duties," the Cardinals said in a statement. The Cardinals ended the season on a seven-game losing streak, falling to the San Francisco 49ers 38-13 on Sunday. The low-key Kingsbury was owner Michael Bidwill's surprise choice to lead the franchise back in 2019, replacing Steve Wilks. The Cardinals went 5-10-1 in 2019 before improving to 8-8 in 2020. Murray signed a $230.5 million contract with the Cardinals before training camp that could keep him with the franchise through 2028.

The Arizona Cardinals have fired coach Kliff Kingsbury and parted ways with general manager Steve Keim after a dreadful season that saw constant unwanted headlines, a serious knee injury to star quarterback Kyler Murray and lots of losing.

The Arizona Cardinals fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury after four seasons. Shortly thereafter, it was announced GM Steve Keim will step away from the franchise.

Less than two weeks after Texas Tech fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury, he agreed to become USC's offensive coordinator. Everyone was desperate for the new offensive mastermind and the Cardinals landed Kingsbury. Kingsbury had some moments with the Cardinals, but two straight seasons started well only to have late-season collapses. Kingsbury had a 28-37-1 record with the Cardinals, with one playoff trip in four seasons. Kliff Kingsbury's teams had late-season issuesThe Cardinals went 5-10-1 in Kingsbury's first season, but that was with Murray playing quarterback as a rookie.

J.J. Watt received an emotional and fitting tribute from San Francisco 49ers fans on Sunday afternoon. Thank You JJ pic.twitter.com/fmt4bnk1E8 — Arizona Cardinals (@AZCardinals) January 9, 2023Watt's wife, Kealia, was in tears from her seat in the stadium. 49ers tight end George Kittle was jumping up and down on the sidelines to celebrate Watt at one point, too. 🙏🏼 https://t.co/q56CUOzzyz — JJ Watt (@JJWatt) January 8, 2023Plenty were there to thank Watt on the field after the game, too. While his final season wasn’t great on the field from a team standpoint, Watt certainly got the farewell he deserved.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday the team "probably" isn't going to have quarterback Kyler Murray at the start of the 2023-24 NFL season.

Cardinals QB Colt McCoy out, DeAndre Hopkins questionableArizona Cardinals’ quarterback Colt McCoy is experiencing more concussion symptoms after clearing protocols on Wednesday, head coach Kliff Kingsbury told reporters on Friday. Eagles QB Jalen Hurts doubtfulPhiladelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts recently returned to practice for the first time since his shoulder injury. Obviously Jalen (Hurts) had a good practice yesterday and went out and looked like he did some things really well. Cornerback Adoree' Jackson has been out since Week 11 with a sprained MCL but returned to practice on Wednesday. Linebacker Azeez Ojulari joined him at practice and was listed as questionable with an ankle injury.

Kliff Kingsbury is 28-35-1 with one playoff appearance in four seasons with the Cardinals. Should he get another season in Arizona?

J.J. Watt is having his best season in the last few years, which explains why head coach Kliff Kingsbury had "no idea" he was retiring at the end of the season.

Tampa Bay’s Tom Brady and Arizona’s Trace McSorley are two quarterbacks making their Christmas Day debut on Sunday.

Consider that his style — or more accurately his thinking — isn’t just responsible for how, say, Patrick Mahomes plays football, but arguably that Patrick Mahomes even plays football at all. Leach was coaching Washington State at the time, but during his time (2000-2009) at Texas Tech, he had installed the Air Raid offense. In his final two seasons – running Mike Leach’s Air Raid offense – he threw for 9,705 yards and 77 touchdowns. “Coach Kingsbury took me from an athlete, a baseball player on the field, to making me a quarterback,” Mahomes said. “I learned from Coach Kingsbury, so I feel like I’ve learned from Mike Leach himself,” Mahomes added this week.

The Patriots are the NFL's best play-action team. Why do they never use it? And have Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury's coaching mistakes caught up with him?

Kyler Murray's ACL tear ends his season for the Cardinals, who have been sloppy and inconsistent on the field and undisciplined off it.

Just months after Kyler Murray and Kliff Kingsbury received extensions, Colin Cowherd believes one is the root cause for the Cardinals' fall.

TEMPE, Ariz. — (AP) — Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season. Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury confirmed the extent of the injury during his Tuesday news conference. The Cardinals and Kingsbury feared that Murray had a serious injury after Monday's game with Kingsbury admitting it “doesn't look good.”Further tests on Tuesday confirmed that pessimism. Murray was replaced by backup Colt McCoy, who will likely remain the starter for the rest of the season. Murray took a lot of ridicule after it was discovered his new contract mandated at least four hours of “independent study” during game weeks, which was unusual for an NFL quarterback.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season.

That wasn't even the worst part of their 27-13 loss to the Patriots on Monday night. Flushed out of the pocket, Murray took off to the right and tried to juke a Patriots defender. Players from both teams surrounded Murray before he was carted off the field holding a towel to his face. The Cardinals had an uneven start to the season and the loss to the Patriots was their fifth in six games. The 36-year-old McCoy had a 1-1 record as the team's quarterback when Murray was out for two games last month.

The Arizona Cardinals lost Kyler Murray for likely the season on the third play of the game. Then, they lost their ninth game of the season, falling to the New England Patriots at home.

Patrick Peterson intensified his criticism of former Cardinals teammate Kyler Murray on Wednesday, and the QB quickly responded.

The Arizona Cardinals' Kyler Murray has responded to former teammate Patrick Peterson's criticism of the QB suggesting Murray only cares about himself.

Kyler Murray is seeing more scrutiny than ever amid a 4-8 start for the Arizona Cardinals, and that extends to his former Cardinals teammates. Ex-Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson had some interesting things to say about Murray on an episode of his All Things Covered podcast published Wednesday. Peterson, who now plays for the Minnesota Vikings, responded with "Kyler Murray don't care about nobody but Kyler Murray. "Kyler Murray don't care about nobody but Kyler Murray"Patrick Peterson comments on what's going on with his former team the Cardinals, since they are always in the news. Kyler Murray reacts to Patrick Peterson: 'You on some weird s***'Murray would respond a few hours later, cursing out Peterson and telling the veteran to call his phone instead of calling him out on his podcast.

Kyler Murray and Marquise Brown expected to return SundayKyler Murray missed the last two weeks with a hamstring injury that he sustained against the Vikings in Week 8 and aggravated the following week against the Seahawks. Wide receiver Marquise Brown is expected to be activated off injured reserve and also play Sunday, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Joe Mixon ruled out against TitansCincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon was listed as out of Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans in the team's injury report. He was injured Week 10 while taking a hit in the second quarter against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This news coincides with his fellow receiver Kadarius Toney being ruled out with a hamstring injury, putting Smith-Scheuster right back at WR1.

Arizona Cardinals offensive line coach and running game coordinator Sean Kugler was fired by the team after reportedly groping a woman in Mexico City, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. The Cardinals played the San Francisco 49ers on "Monday Night Football" in Mexico City in Week 11. Kugler reportedly groped the woman Sunday. Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury claimed the team had no coaching changes to announce during the team's press conference Tuesday.

Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel played 14 seasons as an NFL linebacker.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and head coach Kliff Kingsbury exchanged words as the quarterback made his way to the sideline Thursday Night, but downplayed the incident.

The Arizona Cardinals used two critical pick-sixes to defeat the New Orleans Saints, 42-34, on the night DeAndre Hopkins made his season debut after serving suspension.

Marco Wilson and Isaiah Simmons scored touchdowns on two pick-6s late in the first half and used that stunning change in momentum to lift the Arizona Cardinals over the New Orleans Saints 42-34.

The Arizona Cardinals are off to a 2-4 start that's good for last place in the NFC West. This includes giving up play-calling duties, an idea he confirmed on Monday that he's willing to consider. "I am open to anything that helps us score more points and helps us win," Kingsbury said when asked if he'd give up play-calling at his Monday news conference. Asked again on a radio appearance on Arizona Sports 98.7, Kingsbury said this:"Whatever it takes to win, whatever it takes to score points," Kingsbury said. The official team stance likewise appears open to Kingsbury allowing somebody else to run Arizona's offense on game day.

The guys kick off the podcast by discussing the very fun Bills/Chiefs game and Scott breaks down how Buffalo is using RB Devin Singletary and how it’s different than how any other team does it. After wondering how much longer Kliff Kingsbury will keep his job, the guys talk about Ja’Marr Chase’s long-awaited “squeaky wheel game” and what it means for his fantasy value going forward. Or have the Colts finally figured out the best way to use him? When talking about Tom Brady, Scott brings up the idea of a “QB dead zone” this year. If you didn’t invest in a QB early in your draft, there’s a good chance you hate the QBs on your fantasy team.

Carson Wentz takes enough hits on and off the field that short rest is just another obstacle.

A month into the season, it’s clear Russell Wilson and Matt Ryan are still adjusting to their new teams.

Byron Murphy Jr. scooped up Hunter Renfrow’s fumble and returned it 59 yards for a touchdown with 3:51 left in overtime and the Arizona Cardinals rallied from a 20-point deficit in the second half before running away with a 29-23 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — (AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw for 360 yards and five touchdowns, lifting the Kansas City Chiefs to an impressive 44-21 road win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday in the opener for both teams. The game was never in doubt after the opening minutes, with Mahomes picking apart the Cardinals' defense with his usual array of good decisions and deft passing touch. The quarterback was playing his first NFL game against Kliff Kingsbury, who coached Mahomes in college at Texas Tech and now leads the Cardinals. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was playing his first game since being rewarded with a $230.5 million, five-year contract during the offseason. Cardinals: Arizona entered the game with a banged-up roster, especially considering this is the first week of the season.

Arizona Cardinals receiver Marquise Brown was arrested and charged with criminal speeding on Wednesday morning. Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Bart Graves confirmed that Brown was arrested at 7:05 a.m. in Phoenix and booked in the Maricopa County Jail. “We are aware of the situation regarding Hollywood Brown and have reported it to the NFL office as required,” the Cardinals said in a statement.

The Arizona Cardinals are preparing for six games without star receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

The Arizona Cardinals have removed an addendum to quarterback Kyler Murray’s $230.5 million, five-year contract that mandated at least four hours of “independent study” during game weeks.

LITCHFIELD PARK, Ariz. — (AP) — Kyler Murray has made it no secret he enjoys video games, including the popular “Call of Duty” franchise. “Kyler knows the playbook better than anyone on this team,” Ertz said Tuesday, when the Cardinals reported for preseason camp. Murray finalized his five-year deal last week but it received renewed attention on Monday, when NFL Network first reported that Murray's new contract included an “independent study” clause. He's just glad the quarterback will remain in a Cardinals uniform for the foreseeable future. He added that the “independent study” mandate in Murray's contract shouldn't be a concern.

The Arizona Cardinals say they're not worried about quarterback Kyler Murray's game preparation habits.

Kyler Murray has a low-key personality by nature.

Not surprisingly, the couple picked a warm-weather spot for their wedding.

TEMPE, Ariz. — (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have signed coach Kliff Kingsbury and general manager Steve Keim to extensions that keep them under contract with the team through 2027. However, Allen has won playoff games while Murray has not. The Cardinals started last season as one of the hottest teams in the NFL with a 7-0 record and then a 10-2 mark. Kingsbury was hired prior to the 2019 season, largely because of his expertise in dealing with quarterbacks. Keim is in his 23rd season with the Cardinals and ninth as the general manager after being elevated to the spot in 2013.

Kliff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray have received a lot of blame for the Cardinals' end-of-season struggles, but what about GM Steve Keim?

Kyler Murray’s first NFL playoff start quickly turned into a nightmare.

Matthew Stafford passed for 202 yards and two touchdowns in his first playoff victory and the Los Angeles Rams roared out of the wild-card round with a 34-11 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

With the Arizona Cardinals trailing the Rams 21-0 at halftime, social media is reacting.

But the Arizona Cardinals quarterback admits this week is a little different. “There's no shying away from it.”The Cardinals selected Murray with the No. “I eat, breath and sleep football,” Murray said. This is his first shot at the playoffs, and I expect him to probably play the best game of his career. “You have to play well in these games or you're not going to be looked at as ‘That Guy,'" Murray said.

Kyler Murray has kept a low-key demeanor throughout his football career, staying with a “never too high, never too low” philosophy that’s allowed him to thrive from the high school level all the way through the NFL.
