Close<\/a>Sarah Barshop covers the Los Angeles Rams for ESPN. She joined ESPN in 2016 to cover the Green Bay Packers for ESPN Milwaukee. She then moved to Houston to cover the Texans. She came to ESPN after working as a writer and editor for Sports Illustrated.<\/p>\n Multiple Authors<\/p>\n LOS ANGELES — Former Washington Commanders<\/a> offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury is joining the Los Angeles Rams<\/a>‘ coaching staff, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Peter Schrager on Friday.<\/p>\n Kingsbury spent the past two seasons with the Commanders before the sides agreed to part in January, according to Schefter. The coordinator had one year left on his contract.<\/p>\n The Rams had the top-ranked scoring offense this season but will make changes to their staff after offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur was hired as the Arizona Cardinals<\/a>‘ head coach. Rams coach Sean McVay said earlier in the week that Los Angeles would conduct an “extensive search” to find LaFleur’s replacement and that the team had “great in-house candidates” who could be hired into the role.<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks<\/p>\n 2 Related<\/p>\n Los Angeles, coming off a loss to Seattle<\/a> in the NFC Championship Game, will have a significant portion of the offense return next season. Quarterback Matthew Stafford<\/a>, who was named NFL MVP on Thursday night, announced that he would return for his 18th season.<\/p>\n In 2025, the Commanders dealt with significant injuries, including to quarterback Jayden Daniels<\/a> and wide receiver Terry McLaurin<\/a>. A season after Daniels was named Offensive Rookie of the Year, Washington finished 22nd in scoring and 22nd in yards. Team sources told ESPN’s John Keim there was a divide in Washington over what style of offense to run moving forward.<\/p>\n Kingsbury previously served as the Cardinals’ head coach for four years before he was fired after the 2022 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sarah BarshopFeb 6, 2026, 04:27 PM ET CloseSarah Barshop covers the Los Angeles Rams for ESPN.
