Cardinals fire Steve Wilks after 1 season as head coach

By The Associated Press December 31, 2018 at 9:24am

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have fired Steve Wilks after just one season as head coach.

Wilks’ firing Monday followed a 3-13 season, the franchise’s worst record in 18 years and the worst in the NFL this season.

Wilks, 49, was hired after Bruce Arians retired following five seasons in Arizona.

With Wilks’ status confirmed, there is still one major uncertainty: Will Larry Fitzgerald be back for a 16th season?
