Kliff Kingsbury's record as an NFL coach is 17-18-1... That's not to bad at all.. especially since he seems to have improved every year... If you listen to the homers on Arizona sports radio and the homers in national media, then Kingsbury should have been fired after his first game... Keep in mind, if the Cardinals had not hired Kliff Kingsbury. This is NO chance Kyler Murray would be here.
An overall sub-.500 record in the NFL, with no playoffs, is awful. That gets you fired. I also don’t think Kyler needs Kliff to be successful. Imagine Kyler with a guy like McVay, Shanahan, BA, etc. In fact, I think Kliff needs Kyler more.

Maybe Kliff is finally figuring it out and/or Kyler is growing into his own. Time will tell, but the skepticism is still legitimate

I don't generally agree with you on much, and since I'm ALMOST never wrong (just ask my wife;)), we then know where that leaves you. But, I do agree with you that Kliff needs Kyler, but that Kyler doesn't need Kliff to be successful. Kudos to Kliff for this W, but the jury is still out on whether he can truly be a successful long term HC in the NFL. For now, I'm happy for Kliff, Kyler, the Cardinals, but especially for us Cardinal fans!!

I'm laughing when I think about this Board, and changing the end of last night's game from TB-NE to AZ-LA. The Cards are losing and faced with a 4th and three, and KK decides to try a 56 YD FG to win the game. As I say I'm laughing, just thinking about it.

Great point. And I criticized Bill as soon as he trotted out the kicker in the pouring rain. Why? Even if the kicker made it, there was a minute left & Brady had timeouts. Tampa's secondary couldn't stop me, so why not go for the 1st, run the clock down to zero & hopefully have a much shorter attempt. Oh well. Who can question a coach that has won more SB's than any other HC in NFL history??

I totally agree. I was watching the game and said to myself go for the first down. I’d rather lose going for it than give Brady the ball back with over a minute left needing only a fg.

As a resident K1 fan from day1, I am concerned that if Kliff leaves, can Kyler grasp a more pro-style offense like what Russ is running. Because this is the same offense K1 has been in since HS, and a new coach would bring his own offense. I asked this question before and some posters said that we hope a bee coach would incorporate some of the old offense with his new offense. We all know K1 has the arm and the tools to play in an nfl offense, but can he flourish in one that requires him to be under center more?

Do you know how bad some of these takes are looking now? Kliff's offense has gotten better every year.

Year 1: 1-15
Year 2: 7-9

Ironically I think the only people still posting in this thread are those that support kliff.

I know it hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows, but when you hire a guy like Kliff and then you go and draft a guy in the first round like Kylar , you kind of have to be patient and give it a few years don’t you?

Exactly. You have to be patient. They are not going to be great from the start.
