the linked article hints at the Little League Dad, Kevin Murray and his son.
I find them despicable and it’s why I’ve never been a fan or even impressed with the midget.
He is death to a coach. Already killed Kevin Sumlin’s career. Kingsbury is next, if KK doesn’t commit coaching suicide all by himself.
Please pay that midget and watch your team immolate every year for the next 3-4 years until his tiny body is broken.

Common sense rarely comes into play when jealousy is involved.
Imagine asking for that after that performance in the playoffs. Unreal, they should trade him.

"The pressure seemed to be on Keim in a major way in 2022, to either build a roster capable of contending for a Super Bowl or be fired.
Instead, the longtime GM has instead received a giant security blanket, as Bidwill has committed financially to both Keim and Kingsbury for the foreseeable future."
...
"The extension could change Keim’s roster construction decisions over the next few months, as he can focus equally on both short- and long-term plans. That is a good thing, although Keim will still need to show a better proficiency at finding the right pieces in the draft and free agency.
The Cardinals’ lack of depth last season was painfully obvious when the offense went in the tank following a season-ending knee injury to star wideout DeAndre Hopkins."

The Keim extension is really going over like a lead-balloon amongst the Card-covering-media types...

And for the Hat Trick the Cards sign Murry for 6 years at 46mil a year.
I encouraged my Card brethren to love the stability of the front office for Kyler....

Kingsbury and Keim get contract extensions
It's funny because Keim really excels at finding players like Antonio Hamilton. So I know he's able to find good players. I just don't understand how he's so horrible at drafting. Either Kiem really doesn’t take all the input from scouting department and basically goes rogue, or the scouts just...

Bickley: Cardinals' bizarre contract extensions mean one of two things
There are two conclusions from the bizarre contract extensions the Arizona Cardinals awarded Steve Keim and Kliff Kingsbury on Wednesday.
arizonasports.com
Scenario 2:
Kyler Murray is much worse behind the scenes than we can even imagine, and the organization finally understands their level of culpability and enablement. And it’s all stopping now.In other words, Keim has proven to Bidwill that Kingsbury’s NFL collapses are more about the quarterback than the head coach. Because Murray won’t stay in the pocket, step up in the pocket or play a majority of snaps under center. Or how he doesn’t bother to watch film because he thinks he’s a savant and (gulp) why bother when he can’t really see the entire field?
Even more depressing, he doesn’t seem to love playing football. Not after Thanksgiving, when the injuries and attrition set in, as they do with everyone in the NFL. Not when the games really matter, when he can almost hear defensive players frothing at the mouth.
Maybe the Cardinals are tired of Murray’s arrested development and having to cover for him at every turn. There was a time when Keim sold a blatant lie to the media, clapping back at Bart Scott and vigorously defending Murray’s leadership skills in the fall of 2020. Some of us have heard stories of how Murray enraged Larry Fitzgerald with his entitled attitude, and seriously, if you can’t get along with Larry Fitzgerald…
Recently, Christian Kirk’s mother liked a tweet that was critical of Murray. And Fitzgerald’s father didn’t bother to mince words, calling Murray “spoiled” on Twitter.
Keim and Kingsbury share a piece of the blame. They are ultimately in charge of Murray’s growth and are guilty of giving too much and coddling too often. Remember when Kingsbury actually said Murray had earned a say in personnel matters? Laughable.
So pick a side. Or just wait for the answers to unfold. If the Cardinals don’t extend Murray before the 2022 season, they are making him prove his worth. They are very publicly pointing a finger back at him while giving Keim and Kingsbury the security he coveted.
In the end, Murray was correct for feeling like a scapegoat. Because he is. And for all his breathtaking talent, maybe he deserves it.
If anybody cares, Scenario 1 is a take on Bidwill and how he is pretty much an apple that didn't fall far from daddy's tree and doesn't really care what happens on the field if he's making money.

What was the last car any of you bought for those prices!?
Former 49er OC and new Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel was just on the Pat McAfee Show and what a cool ass dude. Glad he's not in SF anymore. Instantly became a huge fan of him and hope he kills it!
