EVERYONE knew this was a joke from the start. Except for Michael Bidwill #Cardinals— Richie Flores (@RFlores91) October 16, 2022
Kliff Kingsbiury would be better off coaching a college team where he can be happy running his K-Raid. In AZ, he can't get the GM, Kyler and his assistant coaches to buy into it. That renders him utterly moot. Otherwise, the most aggressive thing he does is cancel practice.

Arizona Cardinals coaching hierarchy:
1. Vance Joseph
2. Jeff Rodgers
3. Sean Kugler
4. Kliff Kingsbury— Alex Clancy (@ClancysCorner) October 16, 2022
Cardinals through 6 weeks of the Kingsbury era:
2019: 2-3-1
2020: 4-2
2021: 6-0
2022: 2-4
The team has regressed, severely.— Chuck Harris (@chuckh3) October 17, 2022
Cardinals extended Kliff Kingsbury to a five-year contract
Kyler Murray got paid just like he wanted on a five-year $230.5 million extension
Cards got the 31st ranked Seahawks defense and only put up nine points against them. Only 8 total TDs for K1 through 6 weeks🤢— Andy Kwong (@akwong31) October 16, 2022
I said Arizona needed to be at worst 2-4 or better. They did that, but they fell short of the goal or "off track".
If they lose another home game to the Saints at home, that might be a "season-ending" type of loss.
And you might need to evaluate your coach/GM rest of season.— Blake Allen Murphy (@blakemurphy7) October 16, 2022
Forget about DeAndre Hopkins; the only way anything is changing with this franchise is when they move on from Keim and Kliff. The rot is deeeeeep.

I'm done. Fire Kliff, make Vance the interim head coach. They can do it after they get blown out by the Saints Thursday, fine by me but this is a joke..

I’m not a Cardinals fan & only see what the many Cardinals fans put into my TL…
That said, it seems like Kliff is *approaching* latter Herm-era levels of popularity.— Brad Denny (@BDenny29) October 16, 2022
Serious question.. I know they both just got extensions but do Keim and Kingsbury both make it the entire season?
— Lee Patterson (@radioguyaz99) October 16, 2022
I’m not calling for anyone’s job.
BUT…this team has 3 points against the worst defense in the league. This is atrocious football and fans have every right to be pissed!— Saul Bookman (@Saul_Bookman) October 16, 2022
Might need to add Kliff Kingsbury to our ASU coaching search hot board at this rate
— Chris Karpman (@ChrisKarpman) October 16, 2022
We are watching the cumulative impact of 4 seasons of bad coaching on Kyler Murray. Sticking with Kliff after their 2020 collapse will go down as an extremely costly blunder, in more ways than one. https://t.co/tbiAPRM2iD

Pete Carroll embarrassing Kliff Kingsbury today in Seattle.
Just an absolute schooling.— Johnny Venerable (@JohnnyVenerable) October 16, 2022
Ok I'm taking the moratorium off lol.
Kliff Kingsbury is driving this Arizona Cardinals offense into the ground and nobody is doing anything about it.— Alex Clancy (@ClancysCorner) October 16, 2022
Time is running out on Kliff Kingsbury. This can't continue.
— Johnny Venerable (@JohnnyVenerable) October 16, 2022
This is it. I’ve finally reached my breaking point as a fan and am ready to say it.
Kliff Kingsbury needs to be removed as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. I don’t see a way around it anymore.— Kyler Burd (@AZCard_BurdsEye) October 17, 2022
