An era has ended for the Arizona Cardinals. In the aftermath of the last game of a very difficult season, general manager Steve Keim stepped down, while head coach Kliff Kingsbury was fired.

Kingsbury were in their fourth campaign with the club, having been on the rise in their first three years. It all culminated in 2021 with a first playoff appearance in six years.

He had also signed a contract extension after this satisfactory season which was to tie him to the team until 2027. But the poor performance of the team in 2022 – only four wins – ultimately cost him his job.

After four seasons – his only four as an NFL pilot – Kingsbury posted a 28-37-1 record.

Keim, meanwhile, had already taken indefinite medical leave in December. This time he chose to leave the organization for the same reasons. This decision comes 10 years plus a day after his hiring as CEO.
