Arizona Cardinals: Lincoln Riley’s Air Raid ties should help both Murray and Kingsbury

Though Kyler Murray has never run Kliff Kingsbury’s offense, he should be familiar with the language and schematic concepts due to who he’s quarterbacked for in the past. Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley runs a successful Air Raid offense and shares a history with Kliff Kingsbury that should prove fruitful for Kyler Murray’s development on the Arizona Cardinals.

Kingsbury and Riley haven’t coached together, but they share a similar bond; teammates. More specifically, they were two of the first quarterbacks in Mike Leach’s (one of the founding father’s of the Air Raid) offense at Texas Tech. The two took different path’s to football coaching infamy, but they ended up with a very similar result; a high powered, quarterback-friendly offense.
