Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill said it was simply a time for a change at the head coach position.

Did it start in training camp, where Kingsbury elected not to push his players hard and routinely gave certain players extra days off? Was it during the preseason, when Kingsbury chose not to play hardly any of his starters at all? But after losing five of their final six games during the 2021 season, including an NFC Wild Card disaster against the Rams, the losing continued. The Cardinals would go on to lose 18 of their final 23 games under Kingsbury and lose 12 of their last 13 games at State Farm Stadium. That simply wasn’t good enough for anyone.
Bidwill seemed to dispel the reported rift and divide that allegedly had been growing between himself and Kingsbury, who finished his four seasons in Arizona with a 28-37-1 record. He said he didn’t have any qualms with how Kingsbury coached or ran the on-field operations. The bottom line, as it usually always is on Black Monday in the NFL, comes down to wins and losses.“I don’t think there was a disconnect,” Bidwill said. “There was just performance on the field.
