Dan Quinn hired Kliff Kingsbury when he became head coach of the Washington Commanders in 2024. Kingsbury was working on a deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, but when they wouldn\u2019t go three years, Washington stepped in and hired the former head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. That relationship ended after his second season when they mutually agreed to part ways, and assistant QB coach David Blough was hired as his replacement.<\/p>\n
Kingsbury had success crafting an offense to make rookie QB Jayden Daniels successful in his first year. The Commanders made it to the NFC Championship Game and Daniels was the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. That led to high expectations for year two, but multiple injuries, and a contract holdin slowed the offense, and the team skidded to the end of the season with a 5-12 record.<\/p>\n
Kingsbury interviewed for several head coach and offensive coordinator jobs. This offseason has seen a higher turnover rate than usual, but Kingsbury didn\u2019t land anywhere until now. He will be joining the coaching staff of another former Waahington OC. Kingsbury is joining Sean McVay\u2019s staff on the Los Angeles Rams after not getting the Giants OC job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dan Quinn hired Kliff Kingsbury when he became head coach of the Washington Commanders in 2024.
