The Arizona Cardinals are a team on the brink of ruin, dressed in Gucci. Their situation looks perfect from the outside, but under the aesthetics of exciting number 1 in general and accumulated violation is a team that fell asleep after its start with 10-2. It is reported that the result 1-5 in the decisive part of the season left the owner Michael Bidwell was angryand that was before the relationship with their star quarterback began to fall apart.
Cliff Kingsbury’s offense has reached just 18.5 points per night in the last six games and has been harassed in the Wild Card round by a more prepared team. Arizona’s move to a crucial part of the season, when playoff teams are locked in, is becoming a trend.
Kingsbury and the Cards flew high 5-2 in 2020, before falling to 3-6 weaker after October. The Kingsbury air raid tended to turn once the schedule was full. In Arizona, his teams showed the same narcolepsy in the second half.
At Texas Tech, between 2014 and 2018, Kingsbury’s record was 20-15 in the first seven games. He set a record of 7-20 for the rest of the year. Kingsbury is the so-called prodigy who has never achieved anything. How long can a third-born coach return to second base before Bidwell has enough?
These factors make it even more inexplicable for the Cardinals to transfer extensions to a coach who has won half of his matches since 2019. Coach GQ will continue into the 2027 season. Kingsbury was already one of the most risky hires in NFL history when he was directed to adapt Air Raid’s attack on Kyler Murray.
General manager Steve Keem has been given an extension after missing out on a draft in recent years and failing to build an offensive line to protect Murray. But at least he has a few feathers in his hat. He overtook Houston Texas for DeAndre Hopkins, then swapped choices in the 3rd and seventh rounds for All-Pro Rodney Hudson. He then hired Zack Erz as Murray’s safety valve in the middle of the season. The skipping pass, the extraordinary Chandler Jones has recorded over 70 sacks as a cardinal, but will look for greener pastures in a free agency. Replacing him will be a challenge, but Cam has shown he is capable.
The draft was a different story. Keem spent two first-round selections in consecutive drafts of two midfielders who fought but hit recent gems such as Budda Baker and Byron Murphy. Kingsbury failed to diversify the attack once Hopkins before Week 9 and did not use Rondale Moore effectively enough.
There are a number of coaches that the Cardinals could contact if the Cardinals go down the field again, such as Sean Peyton, Jim Caldwell and Brian.Not this Brian“Flores. Commitment to Kingsbury nullifies all the progress he has made with Murray as the organization comes to a crossroads in his career. Given his recent irritability, they need to show some urgency instead of committing to a mid-road regime.
