The future of the Arizona Cardinals is very much in the air. General manager Steve Keim is on a health-related leave of absence from which he might not return. That clouds the future of head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who is leading a 4-10 Cardinals team, one that was expected to be playoff and perhaps title contenders in 2022.

While cleaning house could be in the team’s future, according to an ESPN report from Jeremy Fowler and Josh Weinfuss, firing Kingsbury is not a foregone conclusion.

Per the report, “multiple team sources see a path where Bidwill gives Kingsbury another year, due in part to injuries ravaging the roster and a personnel department in flux.”


That would make some sense. It would allow Kingsbury to try and get out of the mess that was this year’s team, put together by Keim. That would require a somewhat quick decision about the future at general manager — whether Keim returns or whether he is replaced internally or externally.
