I'm cautiously optimistic, but I think the defense will have to carry this team to victories this year.

While Kingsbury has had some success in CFB with some great QBs, his prowess in the NFL leaves a lot to be desired. In his 2019 season as the HC of the Cardinals, they finished 4th in the NFC West with a record of 5–10–1. In 2020, the Cardinals finished 3rd with a 8–8 record. They did finish 2nd in the NFC West in 2021, but lost to the Rams 34–11 in the first round of the playoffs. KK signed a six-year contract extension in 2022, but was fired after they went 4-13. As a HC he has a 28–37–1 record with one playoff appearance.

Granted, he's not the HC here. But he was just an offensive analyst at USC last year. It's not like he was the OC.

We'll see. Really, just run the damn ball and take the occasional shot downfield and it will be a better offense this year. We'll need a better than average D though to sniff the playoffs. I hope I'm surprised come Sep/Oct...
