I did some research on his time @ TT about his defensive points against vs offensive points scored.

Hopefully with a DC that knows how to coach and a front office who puts defensive players on the team, we can average more points than we give up.

Points Against Average vs Points Scored
2018 - 33.9 (99th) vs 33.7 (24th)
2017 - 34.1 (102nd) vs 32.5 (31st)
2016 - 45.9 (128 - last in NCAA) vs 41.4 (8th)
2015 - 43.5 (125th) vs 43.9 (3rd)
2014 - 41.8 (125th) vs 28.5 (48th)
2013 - 32.0 (89th) vs 33.7 (30th)

Basically, with those results, KK is a poor man's Rich Rodriguez. That's pretty concerning.

Kliff Kingsbury may unintentionally deliver the future stat nerds want for the NFL
It’s difficult to get NFL fans to agree on anything. It’s harder still to get those in the stats community and the “traditional” fans to find common ground on a given topic. But that’s about to change, and we may have new Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury to thank.

Kingsbury’s “Air Raid” offense, known for its pass-happy, aggressive approach to the game, was not (we don’t think) borne out of in-depth statistical analysis. The philosophy, created by Hal Mumme and Mike Leach and pushed forward by guys like Dana Holgorsen, Lincoln Riley and Kingsbury in recent years, was built to try and push the tempo in the college game and make exciting offense simpler for young players.

Misconceptions of the Arizona Cardinals' offense under Kliff Kingsbury is an advantage
Kingsbury has been vague in describing it, which is understandable since it's one of the few advantages the Cardinals will have early this season.

Earlier this week, however, Kingsbury gave us a few ideas of what it won't be.

After practice one day, reporters asked Kingsbury a variety of questions about the offense, including how often he will use four-receiver sets, the shotgun, an up-tempo pace, etc.

At one point, Kingsbury smiled and said there were several misconceptions about his offensive system.

Many Cards fans are hoping for Kliff Kingsbury to have a “Sean McVay effect” on the offense. McVay took the Rams from the 31st offense in 2016 (61.3 offensive grade) to the 7th best in 2017 (78.8). The Cards had the 32nd offense in 2018 (56.5 grade) and we’ll see how Kliff does. pic.twitter.com/jil5jdNKmj

His offenses were very good and defenses very bad.

I cant remember which guest on Doug and Wolf was talking about it but the guest was a league guy who was saying that being a college coach is harder than being an NFL coach because of recruiting, eligibility, and limited time with players.

Why I like the hire is that we know what K2 is good at and we know what he is bad at, and this hire accentuates the good aspects of K2.

95% of coaches and GMs do this. Necessary common practice these days. Very easy to get an idea of a player by evaluating his behavioral patterns on social media.

Gross. I would hate to see what kind of pics my sons would send me if I catfished them. I’m glad that they are grown and I don’t have to deal with that

BRR's comment made me laugh, but honestly if I had kids and they were sending dick pics or whatever to some random girl on Instagram that barely talked to them, they'd be in more trouble than just about anything they'd be stupid enough to post publicly.

yeah...

I have kids...

No way am I posing as a fake account to see what they do. There are things that cannot be unseen. It WILL go wrong.
