2019 Arizona Cardinals Pass Game - Kliff Kingsbury

The coach of the 2019 Arizona Cardinals football team was Kliff Kingsbury.

Kliff Kingsbury is an American football coach who is currently the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals in the National Football League (NFL). He was born on August 9, 1979, in San Antonio, Texas. Kingsbury played college football as a quarterback at Texas Tech University from 1998 to 2002, where he set numerous school and NCAA records.

After his playing career, Kingsbury got into coaching and served as an assistant at the University of Houston, Texas A&M University, and Texas Tech. In 2013, he was hired as the head coach of his alma mater, Texas Tech, where he compiled a 35-40 record over six seasons.

In 2019, Kingsbury was hired as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, becoming the first coach in NFL history to be hired straight from a college head coaching job without any prior NFL experience. In his first season, Kingsbury led the Cardinals to a 5-10-1 record, an improvement from the team's 3-13 record the previous year.

Known for his innovative offensive mind, Kingsbury is often credited with helping to popularize the "Air Raid" offense, a pass-heavy scheme that emphasizes spreading the field and quick passes. He has also been praised for his ability to develop quarterbacks, having coached a number of successful college signal-callers, including Johnny Manziel, Baker Mayfield, and Patrick Mahomes.

Kliff Kingsbury became the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals in 2019. In his first season, he led the team to a record of 5-10-1, which was a slight improvement from the previous season. One of the notable changes he brought to the team was his innovative offense system that emphasized on a fast-paced and aggressive passing attack. This system, known as the "Air Raid" offense, was the hallmark of Kingsbury's previous coaching success at Texas Tech University. Under Kingsbury's leadership, the Cardinals became one of the most exciting teams to watch in the NFL, with a dynamic quarterback in Kyler Murray and a talented group of wide receivers.

In 2019, Kliff Kingsbury implemented an offensive system for the Arizona Cardinals that was heavily influenced by the Air Raid offense. This system relied on spreading out the defense and utilizing quick, short passes to move the ball down the field. It also placed a heavy emphasis on the quarterback making quick decisions and getting the ball out of his hands as soon as possible. Kingsbury also incorporated several spread concepts and utilized a lot of pre-snap motion to confuse the defense and create mismatches. Additionally, the Cardinals used a lot of four-wide receiver sets and ran the ball less frequently than many other teams, preferring to rely on the passing game to generate yardage.
