I guess Kliff was broken and lost the team.
So Kliffy was never anything more than Coach McGinnis? I can see that…Unlike Keim, I never disliked Kingsbury the person, he was in over his head as coach but he never came across as an entitled ass. This show kind of reinforced that for me, I think he did try his best but just wasn’t good enough.
I can see some similarities, and VJ has some McGinnis in him also. Could not have a worse HC replacement for KK than VJ. If that were to happen, this franchise is doomed for a full decade if not for all eternity.So Kliffy was never anything more than Coach McGinnis? I can see that…

like a fart in an elevator. He adds nothing of substance, and makes everyone uncomfortable.Why was Michael in the locker room after the game? Just so bizarre the way he lingers.

should get it over with now. Why re-live the pain in July?I think when all is said and done, and we're in the dog days of July, I'll stream it. I just couldn't handle it in season with as poorly as this squad has performed. I love this team so much, and any Cards entertainment is usually good entertainment, but there's only so much my soul can take.
At least Kliffy took it with grace at the end.
How can anyone not love JJ Watt?
They need to rename this show. It's far from hard knocks; more like a soft touch. The team is able to veto too much and you never get a true look behind the curtain.
I think that's a legit question, though. Montana played his last game in 1994. Most of these guys weren't even born then. If you're an offensive lineman or running back, who is Joe Montana to you?Hamlin coverage, JJ coverage, nothing as compelling I was hoping for. I thought we were going to jump right in.
You can tell the players are detached from Kliff though. He's talking about Joe Montana and asking if any player knows who he is, no one's even looking at him.
Kyler in the QB room though, that's good.
Until his wrongful termination suit is settled and the event in Mexico is completely vetted and resolved, I will continue to believe that Kugler took the bullet for Keim's deeds...I think that's a legit question, though. Montana played his last game in 1994. Most of these guys weren't even born then. If you're an offensive lineman or running back, who is Joe Montana to you?
I think that Kyler in the QB room footage was really old. This is when they were beginning to install the play -- Kliff says that the design is to go to Rondale and then the throwback. They also had footage of Colt installing it on the practice field (but not Kyler, which is weird).
I think our entire offensive staff were boobs. I imagine Sean Kugler was hoping to get fired. Imagine having spent 30 years coaching and 10 years in the NFL and having to answer to Cam Turner and Spencer Whipple.
Good point on it being old footage, I was also focused on something else at the time.I think that's a legit question, though. Montana played his last game in 1994. Most of these guys weren't even born then. If you're an offensive lineman or running back, who is Joe Montana to you?

I dunno. That's generally what all these meetings look like on Hard Knocks.Good point on it being old footage, I was also focused on something else at the time.
My point about Kliff still stands though, the responsiveness from players in that film session was about enthusiastic as a substitute teacher that's trying to get you to learn something on the last day of school.
I'll be knee deep in a plethora of other things. Baseball, summertime weather, the new NFL season (lol). The cuts are still too fresh right now.should get it over with now. Why re-live the pain in July?
Exactly Zeno. Seems like a great guy to hang out and drink a beer with. Just can't be my head coach.Unlike Keim, I never disliked Kingsbury the person, he was in over his head as coach but he never came across as an entitled ass.

I don’t know. I could only stand having every hot chick at the bar eye-f-ing him for so long before I had to leave pissed off and jealous….lolExactly Zeno. Seems like a great guy to hang out and drink a beer with. Just can't be my head coach.
It's a great read - especially getting an outside perspective of our loveable(?) losers.![]()
'Hard Knocks' With The Cardinals Was A Dark Workplace Comedy Starring Kliff Kingsbury | Defector
Anyone could see that the 2022 Cardinals were bad just by looking at their 4-13 record, but this year's in-season version of Hard Knocks, which followed the team, offered plenty of additional evidence. Two Defector staffers watched along and discussed their takeaways after the finale aired...defector.com

Man that was vicious . . . and sadly accurate. Should be required reading before gaining access to ASFN.![]()
