Kingsbury to allow Cardinals 'cellphone breaks'

PHOENIX -- New Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury won't waste any time using his college coaching background to help him in the NFL.
Kingsbury said Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings that he'll implement "cellphone breaks" during team meetings. He did something similar while coaching at Texas Tech but will adapt it for NFL players.
"They're itching to get to those things," he said.
"You start to see kind of hands twitching and legs shaking, and you know they need to get that social media fix, so we'll let them hop over there and then get back in the meeting and refocus," Kingsbury said.
While coaching the Red Raiders the past six years, Kingsbury saw firsthand just how short young football players' attention spans can be. Kingsbury said the average age in the NFL is 25, not much older than the players he coached in college.
Instead of asking them to sit for longer stretches, Kingsbury will adjust his meetings to maximize their focus.
"I think coming from the college ranks to obviously, those young men, it's got to be quick hitters, 20 minutes at a time, give them a break and get them back in," he said. "We want to make sure that when we have them, they're focused, and they're locked in, and we're maximizing their time.
"So if we've got to split it up or have shorter meetings, that's what we do."
So they have short attention spans during their football games too

Yeah, totally worked there

I mean don't teams take breaks anyway? I would bet that a lot of teams have breaks every half hour to 45 minutes anyway, where players can check their phones.
They probably just don't call them cellphone breaks

Just because it didn't translate to becoming Alabama doesn't mean it didn't work.

Why didn't he implement this at USC during his time there?

What he is saying is millennials have no attention span at all so now that they have a real job we will just dumb ourselves down to their level. Good luck, Coach.

Like getting him a head coaching position in the NFL?
Whether the Cards go 12-4 or 1-15, what Kliffie did at TTech got him to AZ.

Actually, being in the same building with Patrick Mahomes did that. Just like the guys who have hung out with McVay have jobs as well

So it is ok to leave a business meeting to go check Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Then come back to the meeting after you read your Facebook page.
Is this a joke?
