Cleveland plays Arizona next year. Baker just MIGHT be fired up for that one.

Why would a Pro team hire someone who has only been a college HC once? And at a shtty school like tceh? And failed there?

Because because USC wanted him and blocked interviews, he's just got to be NFL ready...!

I think everyone is fascinated by Mahomes & believe Kliff is the main reason for him being as good as he is. They're probably hoping he can turn Rosen into him. Only thing I can think of

Can't believe Kingsbury got an NFL HC position before Sumlin.

Seriously, I think it's because they think he's going to be the next Bill James of the NFL. All the advanced stats weenies have been begging the NFL to stop running the ball, and start throwing 95% of the plays; i think Kliff will do that. Also, he's gay.

This just goes to show how much Mike McCarthy's stock has fallen in the NFL. McCarthy interviewed for the AZ job and expressed that of all the current job openings, the AZ job was at the top of his list. So instead of the AZ front office hiring a Super Bowl winning coach with 13 years of NFL head coaching experience, they hire Kliff Timothy Kingsbury! I just read where Cleveland has turned him down and the Jets who were initially enamored with him are now favoring Adam Gase.

TBAT fires Leach and Kingsbury, thinking they can do better. Lol.

They didn't fire Leach thinking they could do better, they fired Leach for being a jackass. The fact that he actively interviewed for other jobs while employed at Tech didn't help.

To the NFL no less go figure. First Mahomes doing what johnny FF could not and now KK to the NFL despite a losing record at Tech. Pretty crazy stuff. I wish the man success he will have to earn it.

Well the guy could not get a defense. Sounds like Az wants an offensive guru. They will get one. Maybe they think they already have the defense in place.

From a Cardinals' message board:

Quote:

If we were going to take this swing, I would have gone with the Rams QB Coach Taylor.

college coaches who were very successful in college, but had zero NFL experience and flamed out spectactulary is pretty long.

Again, I wouldn't lean so heavily on the side of this could be a spectacular failure if Kingsbury was a wiz kid who actually succeeded in college, but in a conference where Baylor and even Texas Tech under Mike Leach could rise to prominence at least a couple times, his lack of success there gives me some major hee-bee-jee-bees.

They must not be aware of just how great the Big 12 really is. Strange.

He'd make a good gigolo. Good looking, but even better at selling himself.

LOL! The fact that they were able to keep Leach there for so long is the amazing part. Leach is like a sloth. Slow-moving, likes his surroundings and stays there until forced to move.

But he inadvertently got involved in a d*** measuring contest with a d***less Kent Hance. Everything that happened after that was just a monetary move to avoid paying Leach his money according to his contract. Leach doesn't suffer fools gladly and Hance was/is a blowhard fool.

I met Hance a few times when I was in law school. Guy is a supreme a-hole who is quite full of himself, not a drop of even fake humility. Disliked Bill Powers when he was at tu but at least he was diplomatic when screwing people over. He was a kissy guy but Hance was a he-who-must-be-obeyed type.

Heisman trophy winner Johnny meant a lot more to Texas A&M than Mahomes ever did to Tech. I bet 99% of NFL fans have no idea he even went to TBAT. I'm sure you're f'ing jacked though as a HUGE lifelong Kansas City fan.

I won't disagree with any of that about Hance, except that he's anything BUT d***less in the regard that he held the purse strings for Leach's job. And you don't tell your boss to GFY and stay employed long.

Even fewer NFL fans even know who Johnny is, Heisman or not, except a screw up at Cleveland that is no longer in the NFL. And that Heisman was 6 years ago, and has been overshadowed by Mayfield and Lamar Jackson.

Looks like like the Pirate and Kliff are finding life's a lot better outside Lubbock, even after they tried to stay.

Leach tried everything he could to leave for at least 3 years before he got canned.

Hance and AD Myers seized on that fake Adam James story. They also refused to meet with Leach if he brought his lawyer, denying him advice of counsel during a contract issue. When you are denied a meeting over a contract issue because you want to have your counsel present for the negotiations, GFY is justified, IMO.

They wanted to screw Leach over, used Craig James and his snot-nosed kid to start it and then ramrodded Leach out of his job because they didn't like him. He wasn't the appropriate level of ass-kisser they demanded.

Tech was suffered and will continue to suffer as a result, as they should.
