There's a lot of stress that goes with being an NFL coach. And it's not like Kliff Kingsbury isn't still getting paid.
It sounds like Kingsbury is going on a long vacation. Kingsbury booked a one-way trip to Thailand and told teams asking if he'd like an offensive coordinator job that he's not interested right now,Kingsbury was fired by the Cardinals this week after a 4-13 season. He had signed a multi-year extension in March, but the Cardinals still moved on. Kingsbury has too, for the time being.
When Kingsbury was fired, it was speculated right away that he could get another job right away as an offensive coordinator. He was often linked to the New England Patriots, where he once played. Despite Kingsbury not succeeding as Arizona's head coach, he got the job because of his reputation as an offensive playcaller. It's no surprise teams would have been interested in talking to him about an OC role.
Kingsbury is just 43 and if he wants to take a year off, he should still have opportunities in the NFL or back in college. After constant scrutiny for four seasons as Cardinals coach, escaping to Thailand and reevaluating things in the future probably sounds like a good plan.Your browser does not support HTML5 audio.
