About Kliff Kingsbury

Kliff Kingsbury came to his role as the new coach of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals with some innovative ideas, both on the field and off. In a sport where coaches are notoriously hard-nosed and old school, he made waves by instituting a new phone policy with his players that allowed for more social media time. This millennial-savvy coach with a combined Instagram and Twitter following of nearly 200K instituted breaks during meetings where players could get their fix of texting, tweeting and checking their feeds. While this approach was met with mockery and skepticism initially, the team performed well, becoming one of the higher powered offenses in the league this past season.
