Kliff Kingsbury, Kyler Murray say relationship is good

Sunday morning, it was reported that the relationship between Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury and quarterback Kyler Murray was tense but that, over the two weeks Murray was out with a hamstring injury, things were hashed out and communicated.

Both Kingsbury and Murray deny that there is anything wrong with their relationship.

After the team’s 25-24 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday, Kingsbury said, “we’re good,” regarding his relationship with Murray.

Murray took it further.

“There was no tension,” he said. “Between me and him though, we’re good.”

Based on what both say, any frustration is about how the season has gone and not an internal division between the two.

“This whole season has not gone the way anyone wanted or envisioned it to go,” Murray said.

“When you’re not winning obviously everybody’s going to be a little on edge,” Kingsbury said, and then praised Murray for his performance and his belief he will continue to play at a high level.

Kingsbury said the conversations between the two are about team improvement. “That’s it. We know we’re missing some pieces offensively, but we talk about how we can utilize what we have and what’s the best way to do that,” he said.

The season has not gone the way anyone had hoped. It’s good to hear that there aren’t problems between coach and quarterback.
