Another NFL Head Coach has been fired
The Arizona Cardinals are firing head coach Kliff Kingsbury after four seasons at the helm, according to multiple reports.
The 43-year-old led the Cardinals to a 4-13 record this season, their worst mark since 2018 where they finished 3-13 for the lowest win total in the NFL.
While Kingsbury's Cardinals did lose star quarterback Kyler Murray to an ACL tear in Week 14, the team went just 3-8 with him in the lineup and were in the midst of a four-game slide at the time of Murray's injury.
Kingsbury went 28�37-1 in four seasons leading the Cardinals and had just signed a contract extension at the end of last season that would have taken him through 2027. Instead, Arizona has elected to enter the coaching carousel.
The Cardinals still have never retained a head coach for longer than six seasons in their 100-plus�year history. Arizona will be very active this offseason as the team now looks to replace two key positions within their franchise.
Arizona looked to be one of the better teams in the NFL in the 2021 season by starting out 10-2 but lost four of their final five games and were blown out by the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card round.
Kingsbury joined the Cardinals in January of 2019 after being fired as Texas Tech head coach after six seasons. He was originally hired as USC's offensive coordinator in December of 2018 but ultimately resigned from his position after interviewing for the head coaching jobs with the Cardinals and New York Jets the following month.
