The king of mediocrity is out in Arizona.
Kliff Kingsbury was fired by the Cardinals on Monday after an abysmal season.
Kingsbury was coach of the Cardinals for 4 seasons and finished with a record of 28-37-1.
The Cardinals went 4-13 in 2022 after making the playoffs last season.

How about this for a weak coaching history?
The Cardinals still never have had a head coach — any head coach — last longer than six years while the team has existed for over 100 years.
