Cardinals fire Kliff Kingsbury; GM Steve Keim steps away

The Arizona Cardinals have fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury 10 months after signing him to a contract extension through the 2027 season.

The team also announced that general manager Steve Keim has decided to "step away from his position in order to focus on his health."

Like Kingsbury, Keim signed an extension in 2022 that took his contract through the 2027 season. Keim, however, has been on a health-related leave of absence since mid-December.

Keim joined the Cardinals in 1999 as a college scout and, after years in the personnel department, was promoted to general manager in 2013.
