Kingsbury, Keim out as Cardinals undergo franchise makeover

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! TEMPE, Ariz. — The Arizona Cardinals have fired coach Kliff Kingsbury and parted ways with general manager Steve Keim after a dreadful season that saw constant unwanted headlines, a serious knee injury to star quarterback Kyler Murray and lots of losing. “It’s the hardest day in the football life, when you’ve got to part ways with people that you respect and appreciate all their contributions,” Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill said on Monday. “Because in terms of putting in the effort, he’s a guy who deserved to have the outcome we were all expecting.” The 50-year-old Keim also received a contract extension last season. Bidwill said he’d prefer to hire a new general manager first and then decide on a head coach, but the order could be switched.
