Texas Tech Football Coach Kliff Kingsbury

Why he's leaving to coach the Cardinals in Arizona

After six seasons in Lubbock, Kingsbury is headed to the NFL to coach the Arizona Cardinals.

This comes as a surprise to many, as Kingsbury has been very successful at Texas Tech, leading the Red Raiders to a 35-40 record and three bowl games. However, Kingsbury has always been open about his desire to coach in the NFL, and the Cardinals offered him a five-year, $25 million contract that he couldn't refuse.

Kingsbury is known for his innovative offensive mind, and he is expected to bring a lot of excitement to the Cardinals. He will be reunited with quarterback Kyler Murray, who he coached at Texas A&M. Murray is one of the most exciting young quarterbacks in the NFL, and he is expected to thrive in Kingsbury's offense.

The Cardinals have been one of the worst teams in the NFL in recent years, but they are hoping that Kingsbury can turn things around. He is a proven winner at the college level, and he has a lot of experience developing quarterbacks. The Cardinals are hoping that Kingsbury can help Murray reach his full potential and lead the team to success.
