Official Kliff Kingsbury press conference 01/09/19

[Jasper]

Maybe but he sounds like Matthew McConaughey

That true too!

 

[slanidrac16]

Any key talking points from radio?

One thing I took from it was when asked about naysayers as they point to his losing record he responded, “ I use that as motivation”. Stated there would be doubt and questions no matter who got hired

 

[Jetstream Green]

I better not hear the words 'DNA' or 'tremendous'

Did not hear those two words once and he mentioned being a fan of Jake Plummer... I will give this fellow Texan the benefit of the doubt with a big smile

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

The one thing I picked up on was he starts off answering every question with "yeah!"

That make for a great drinking game. Yeah...

 

[gimpy]

Can someone say what was said after the press conference. It was more informative?

 

[TruColor]

Liked that he's been a long-time fan of Jake Plummer as well as Kurt Warner...and is very close to Carson Palmer. Huge respect to Pat Tillman as well - Kliff's dad was a Marine.

 

[Zeno]

So what I gather from that is the OC and DC will have NFL experience. Keim is probably going to have more control on the DC hire than the coach is (which I am ok with) due to his experience and relationships throughout the league.

Supposedly there are some coaches on playoff teams they still want to talk to so it may be a while before we hear anything.

K K was much looser but he was careful not to "break rules". I suspect Card fans will enjoy his candidness.

Smart

KK already showing intelligence/ability to survive in NFL. He wants to hire NFL OC to help "mesh" his offense with elements of a traditional system.

We all agree that a DC (with HC experience) is a must.

 

[Zeno]

Can anyone think of any position coaches on playoff teams that were coordinators recently?

Thats true Cardinal red blood right there.

Only one I can think of is Mike Nolan. He’s the Saints LB coach.

 

[Gandhi]

Huh that’s weird and interesting.

Accorsi has helped with multiple head coaching-searches as well as general manager-searches around the league. He is a very well-respected consultant, so I think it is indeed very interesting.

 

[BigRedRage]

Just heard K K on 98.7 link after presser. Much more informative.

Is it just me or did Keim look uncomfortable during the presser?

lets not start that again

I noticed Mike and Steve BOTH avoided the ? asking about KK's losing record and why they hired him with that on his resume. Shoot ...Mike even smiled and backed away from the table....looked over to the press guy to tell him 'next question' take the mic.
I would have liked them to ask the question 'What qualities as a head coach do you think are your strongest?'

Very little was asked as to his strategy

KK was on Sirius NFL Radio about an hour ago...didn't listen to it, but they'd be much better to listen to as they get into the X's and O's. Hope I can find it.

 

[TheCardFan]

Matt LaFleur press conference...

That was bad in comparison...he seems over his head.

Also - CEO Mike Murphy shut up dude. You are clueless.

That seemed totally bush league and I respect the Packers.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Who cares about press conference rhetoric?

I’m sure many were impressed with Wilks after his presser.

Thing I liked about Kingsbury is that he seemed pretty cool and unflappable. Seemed realistic.

Didn’t like the laundry lust of past Cards greats to “endear” him to the fan base. That was coached.

 

[Buckeye Cardinal]

Watched the “Talking Heads” on ESPN2 discuss the press conference. For the most part their comments were positive....especially the hiring of an experienced NFL DC.

The only negative comments in excess cane from the female who had ad nauseum talked about his losing TT record. She finished her diatribe by chastising Josh Rosen for not backing Wilks. Hmmmmmmm.

 

[Arz101]

It is Steve Keim's show. Kingsbury has the lead role. End.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Eff yeah! Leverage the pass rush personnel we already have and play man in the backend. Woo Hoo!!!

What I liked about Keim's statement on that was not only mentioning 3-4, but the why...said because they have the edge personnel to allow man/2 deep coverage.

It feels more and more Wilks oversold his defensive skills and then they had to play real games.

Kliff on losing record in college: "Nothing I can say today will change that."

What was he supposed to say?
The players didn’t execute?
