Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury would not comment on any changes to the coaching staff when he addressed the media the day after the season ended for the team. A report came out stating two coaches had been let go with other changes coming.
The team has not made any official announcements about Kingsbury’s staff but it appears that they have moved on from five assistants from 2019.
Either they were let go, their contracts were not renewed or the coaches themselves decided to get out of their deals.
Five of Kingsbury’s staff are no longer listed on the official team site as part of the coaching roster.
Who are they?
- Defensive line coach Chris Achuff
- Defensive assistant Chris Wilson
- Assistant wide receivers coach Peter Badovinac
- Assistant special teams coach Randall McCray
- Assistant strength and conditioning coach Vernon Stephens
Achuff and McCray were the two reported firings.
Achuff, McCray and Stephens were holdovers from the 2018 coaching staff under Steve Wilks. Badovinac and Wilson were brought in this year.
As the offseason progresses, it will be interesting to see how the staff is filled out and how many will have been connected previously to Kingsbury at some point.
