The Arizona Cardinals’ hiring of Kliff Kingsbury as head coach was a shocker for many, including San Francisco 49ers fans. The former coach of the Texas Tech Red Raiders was fired after last season, before being hired as USC’s offensive coordinator for all of a month or so before taking the Cardinals job.
Now Kingsbury, as a coach, brings a lot of questions. For starters, he had a losing record at Texas Tech. Now, you could counter that with his offensive wizardry, which led to interest in him. He had no relevant NFL experience, but he also is a master of spread concepts, which the NFL is chock-full of.
