The Arizona Cardinals fooled all of us. In their latest search for a head coach, the hiring of a candidate with NFL experience would’ve been a safe route to travel. After hearing team President Michael Bidwill proclaim that the organization had to get it right this time, it was believed that few gambles would be taken.
So much for that theory. The Cardinals’ decision to hire former Texas Tech University coach Kliff Kingsbury is about as “out of the box” as they come. It’s a splashy choice to say the least, and one that carries with it a ton of risk.
