Kliff Kingsbury is having a rough week at work, but at least he’s winning at life.
On Monday, the Arizona Cardinals announced they were firing Kingsbury 10 months after he signed a large contract extension.

The Arizona Cardinals have fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury 10 months after signing him to a contract extension through the 2027 season.
Kingsbury was hired in January 2019, just two months after he was fired from Texas Tech, to resuscitate a fledgling offense and a struggling organization.
His firing comes a day after the Cardinals lost their season finale 38-13 to the 49ers, completing a 4-13 season. Kingsbury finished his Cardinals career with a record of 28-37-1.
Apparently, the Cardinals will pay Kingsbury millions of dollars to go away so that he can rebuild the franchise without him.
#Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill has been evaluating potential head coaching candidates and figuring out the process for weeks. All signs had been pointing towards a change in Arizona, where Kliff Kingsbury was informed today he's out, and is owed a lot of money through 2027.

Michael Bidwill cost himself millions of dollars by doling out the Keim and Kingsbury extensions, but at least it didn't keep him from making these much-needed moves.

While Kingsbury is cleaning out his office, his model girlfriend Veronica Bielik is in Thailand sharing beach photos on Instagram.
Hopefully, Kliff gets on a plane ticket to join Veronica on vacation now that he’s rich and unemployed.
