Accountability
Kliff has continued to play this stoic-like figure on and off the field. I can only remember one time this year during the Patriots game that he got in Kyler’s face. There has been no “2008 Christmas day” moment that has woken up the Cardinals. There are only so many times he can say “we/I have got to be better”.
There is no passion or accountability from Kliff. It trickles down to even the quarterback. Murray has been absent in trying to motivate this squad. Instead we find images/cuts of the camera of him just sitting on the bench with a thousand-yard-stare like he was in the battle of Verdun.

Could Kliff Kingsbury be coaching himself onto the NFL hot seat?
A couple of weeks ago, the Arizona Cardinals were 10-2 on the season and Kliff Kingsbury was a favorite for the NFL Coach of the Year.
A lot can change in two weeks.
The Cardinals are now 10-4 on the season and Kingsbury continues to fall in odds for the award for the NFL's top coach.
Some NFL writers are even questioning Kingsbury's job security in Arizona, should the Cardinals continue to struggle down the stretch.

There is more unfolding about the relationship between the Arizona Cardinals and quarterback Kyler Murray. ESPN’s Chris Mortenson described the relationship as having an “odd vibe” and that there is “acrimony” because of how things ended with the team’s first-round playoff exit.
The Cardinals were beaten by the Los Angeles Rams 34-11. Murray did not play the final minute.
While many analysts during the game felt the Cardinals should have pulled their young franchise quarterback from the game when things got out of hand to avoid any sort of injury, he didn’t come out until there was 1:05 remaining in the game.
According to Mike Garofolo, speaking during NFL Network’s Super Bowl pregame coverage, Murray pulled himself from the game, refusing to take the final snaps.
Backup Colt McCoy, according to Garofolo, tried to encourage him to finish the game with his teammates, but “a banged-up Murray said, ‘no, that’s it.'”
According to the report, some within the organization were unhappy with that.

End of the 2020 season I read about how Kingsbury was on the hot seat. Confused i went to their fan forums and sure enough, lots of unhappy sounds directed at Kingsbury way.
End of 2021 ... they go 11-6 in a brutal NFC West .... and theres unhappiness behind the scenes.
I dont have a point but In am confused as to their dysfunction.
Cards have a young offensive minded coach they went hard for, have a 1.1 QB who seems to be dynamic, a solid D .... and no one seems happy.
