PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have hired former Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury as their head coach Youth Budda Baker Jersey , a move aimed at providing guidance for young quarterback Josh Rosen and resuscitating the worst offense in the NFL.The Cardinals announced the hiring Tuesday after a long interview earlier in the day, saying Kingsbury had agreed to terms on a four-year contract with a team option for a fifth. He was to be introduced at a news conference at the team’s training facility in Tempe on Wednesday.Kingsbury was fired after going 35-40 in six seasons at Texas Tech, but his teams were known for their high-scoring performances. His prized pupil in those days was current Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Tuesday’s hiring came barely a month after Kingsbury was hired as offensive coordinator at USC.Kingsbury, also a former offensive coordinator at Texas A&M where he worked with Johnny Manziel, replaces Steve Wilks, who was fired after going an NFL-worst 3-13 in his one season in Arizona.That means Kingsbury will take over a team with the No. 1 overall draft pick, along with a bevy of other picks and lots of salary cap space.After a one-year experiment with a defense-oriented coach in Wilks, Cardinals president Michael Bidwill acknowledged he got that hire wrong and vowed to get this one right. The Cardinals hope the hire can match the magic that happened when Sean McVay was hired by the Los Angeles Rams.Arizona’s move is back to an offense-centered coach, a philosophy that worked well in the previous hire of Bruce Arians, who won 50 games in five seasons before retiring after the 2017 season. That retirement turned out to be short-lived: Arians was hired later Tuesday as coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Bidwill’s latest choice is a risk, given that the 39-year-old Kingsbury has no NFL coaching experience and no record of success in terms of wins and losses at the college level.He does Stitched Haason Reddick Jersey , however, bring unquestioned knowledge of successful offenses and in working with young quarterbacks. Under Kingsbury’s tutelage, both Case Keenum and Mahomes led the nation in passing as college quarterbacks.“Yeah, I think he can be a great NFL coach,” Mahomes said Tuesday before the hiring was announced. “He has the work ethic. He has the passion for the game. I know that he loves the sport. So I know he’ll be able to relate to quarterbacks. He would put in the work and now it’s just about him finding where he needs to be at.”Kingsbury was let go after six seasons at Texas Tech and joined the USC staff as offensive coordinator on Dec. 5. His quick departure will leave the Trojans scrambling for a replacement.Kingsbury’s challenge now will be to build a staff. He particularly needs a strong coordinator for a defense that had its share of troubles last year trying to switch from a 3-4 to 4-3 scheme.The new coach inherits a team that finished last in the NFL in all major offensive categories last year. Rosen, who as a rookie took over as starter four games into the season, had an up-and-down year with no significant improvement.Playing behind a makeshift offensive line decimated by injuries, he wound up last among quarterbacks who played regularly, completing 55 percent of his passes for 2,278 yards and 11 touchdowns with 14 intercepts and a 66.7 QB rating.Rosen, who was picked 10th overall in last year’s draft Youth Haason Reddick Jersey , is probably the No. 1 reason Kingsbury got the job.The Cardinals’ record last year was their worst in 18 years and matched the worst since the franchise moved to the desert from St. Louis in 1988.

But, thanks to the Lions taking Nebraska RB Ameer Abdullah, the Cardinals shifted gears and madearguably their their best back to back Day 2 picks in recent decades in tabbing Golden in round 2 and then Northern Iowa RB David Johnson in round 3.Abdullah was a bust in Detroit while Golden and Johnson put up near league leading numbers in 2016, with Golden registering 51 tackles, 16 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks and Johnson amassing 2,168 combine yards rushing/receiving and 20 TDs.Even though David Johnson was lost for the season after one half in 2017, the Cardinals re-signed Johnson to a 3 year contract extension.Markus Golden had a harder injury to come back from. Like Johnson, he was largely misused by the previous coaching staff. The Cardinals should at least re-sign Golden to a one year deal. Here are the reasons why.Golden was lost for the 2017 because of his ACL tear. He rehabbed like a madman to get back on the field in 2018. Impressively he made it back by week 6.When he returned Stitched Chase Edmonds Jersey , he was being used as a “6 technique” in Steve Wilks’43 defense. Anyone who knows Markus Golden’s game, knows he is best suited as a “7 technique.”The Cardinals are bringing back the 34 where Golden is a natural fit.Even though Golden was playing a 43 DE position that did not maximize his talents and working is way back from the ACL injury, in 11 games he registered 30 tackles, 6 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. There were some flashes of the Markus Golden of old.Golden has earned his stripes as a core player. He is a leader, a fierce competitor, a tireless worker and a junkyard dog on the football field. He epitomizes toughness, something the Cardinals need to reward, not send packing.He is loved by his teammates.Market Value:At this point it may best suit Golden to bet on himself and sign a one year incentive laden deal, somewhere in the $3M range, with $100K bonuses for each sack. The dilemma he is likely to face is whether to accept a 3 year deal in the $5M a season range with say the New York Giants, with $6M in guaranteed money.If he has a big year in 2019 Youth Chase Edmonds Jersey , he can find himself in position to cash in on a 3 year deal in 2020 that could be more than twice the money than what he would have to settle for in 2019.Would the Cardinals re-signing Markus Golden rule out their drafting of Nick Bosa?If Golden signs a one year deal, as Brooks Reed did, then Bosa or any edge rusher is still in play.If Golden signs a multi-year deal that is in excess of $5M a year, then, that would be an indication that the Cardinals will likely be drafting at another position in the 1st round.It’s not every day that a player of Markus Golden’s character, work ethic and tenacity walk through your doors and don your uniform every day.The Cardinals can make a timely statement to their own players by maintaining their investment in Golden. Golden sets the kind of example that the Cardinals need to capitalize on.
