"Kingsbury's name is once again coming up in head coaching speculation. There are two confirmed openings, and more could be added once the 2025 campaign concludes. Given how things have gone for the Commanders this season, coupled with the fact that you only stay a hot name for so long, it would be a shock if he wasn't more receptive to offers this time around."
"Kingsbury is still being paid by the Cardinals, so there is no rush whatsoever. However, given that his play-calling has come into question this season - albeit with mitigating circumstances - he could decide this is the right time to explore other options. This is something the Commanders should plan for. They have a couple of in-house candidates who could take over, but looking further afield should also be seriously considered."
"We'll see how that plays out, but for today, but today I'm just trying to get one of these quarterbacks ready on a short week."
Kliff Kingsbury declined head coaching interviews during the 2025 hiring cycle to focus on the Commanders' playoff run. His name is again tied to head coaching openings, with two confirmed vacancies and potential for more after the season. He may be more receptive to offers now, seeking another chance after a sour end to his Cardinals tenure. Kingsbury said he is concentrating on preparing quarterbacks on short weeks. He remains on the Cardinals payroll, reducing urgency, but questions about his play-calling make a departure plausible. The Commanders should prepare for that possibility.
