The Arizona Cardinals recently fired their head coach, Kliff Kingsbury, after a dismal season. But nobody could have judged what he would do next. He just took off to Thailand on the money the Cardinals will be paying him according to his long contract. And that has prompted the NFL world to relish the Cardinals’ misery.
Kingsbury has offered to be the offensive coordinator at various places in the NFL, according to reports. But why would he climb down a ladder if he has money flowing in already?

This fan knows the reason for this action by Kingsbury.
Why would he doesn’t get 4 years of fully guaranteed money ? And if he works it just cancels it out

Another fan is of the opinion that why would Kingsbury bother at all.
Why bother? He’s still under contract and Arizona will be paying him for a while!

This fan thinks the former Cardinals head coach shouldn’t rush for an OC position.
Well he does have 4 years left on his deal so no reason to rush back to work for an OC position

This fan may have read Kingsbury’s mind.
Rub and tugs over football for Kliff I guess

Kingsbury has a contract till the 2027 NFL season with the Cardinals that guarantees that the money will keep on flowing in without him having to work at all. And right now, his suitors are interested in him as an OC. He hasn’t really made a name for himself as a head coach in Arizona.

The Cardinals under Kliff Kingsbury

The current season was nowhere near the last for the Cardinals. The team finished fourth in the NFC West with just four wins all season. And the Cardi fired the former Tom Brady backup QB at the end of the regular season.
