The Arizona Cardinals fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury on Monday, hours after the team finished a disappointing, injury-marred season at 4-13 and only 10 months after Kingsbury signed an extension through 2027.
Shortly after reports of Kingsbury’s dismissal surfaced, the team confirmed the news and added that general manager Steve Keim “decided to step away from his position in order to focus on his health.”
Keim became the team’s general manager in 2013 but was on an indefinite, health-related leave of absence since early in the season. He also signed a contract extension last offseason, and may take a different role with the team. Vice president of player personnel Quentin Harris and vice president of pro personnel Adrian Wilson are currently leading the team on an interim basis. The Cardinals currently own the third pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
