Kliff Kingsbury is training for his job Monday night

The 2022 season is not going well for Kliff Kingsbury and the Arizona Cardinals.

Despite getting Kyler Murray a new contract and new weapons, the Cardinals are 4-8.

Instead of building on their sensational 2021 season, they have been a disappointment.

This puts pressure on Kingsbury to win on Monday night, as the Cardinals want another playoff run.

Kingsbury’s problems stem from Murray

In October, Kingsbury and his starting quarterback got into a heated argument.

Kyler Murray and Kliff Kingsbury had a heated exchange during TNF:

“It was ugly; a quarterback treating his coach with zero respect. As angry as you get, it’s a line you wouldn’t even imagine crossing.” — @RealSkipBayless pic.twitter.com/vd9PrYxPQ4

With him having a young quarterback who’s mad at him, it’s hard to keep the team together.

As the leader, it’s up to the head coach to keep his players in line and on point during games.

While the argument led to Murray telling his coach to “calm the F down,” it’s unplayable behavior.

Since the argument, the Cardinals have been a mess, going 1-4.

However, there are deeper problems beyond those between Kingsbury and Murray.

Cardinals need playoff berth to save Kingsbury

While the team was thought to have a shot at the playoffs, its chances of catching it look bleak.

They went from being a playoff contender in early 2022 to a team struggling to win games.

If they want to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, Kingsbury needs to turn the team around.

If he can’t win against the New England Patriots, who have problems of their own, then his time in Arizona could be over.

Despite sending the team to the playoffs last year, his training has gotten the team nowhere this season.

Another loss pushes them one step closer to playoff elimination, while possibly costing Kingsbury his job.
