""Washington has also had conversations about potentially moving on from [Kliff] Kingsbury even if he doesn't get a head-coaching job. Some in the building say there's been a disconnect between Kingsbury and general manager Adam Peters. When was the last time we were watching to see if an offensive coordinator was going to get fired while he was also preparing for head coaching interviews? We'll see how this shakes out. The Commanders likely won't make any final decisions until they see how the broader coaching market develops.""
"Much of the speculation has centered on whether offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury will get a head coaching job during the 2026 hiring cycle. However, a bombshell insider report suggests that the Washington Commanders might be planning to fire the play-caller regardless. Kingsbury has taken some heat this season for his offensive play-calling. He's not had things easy without quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Terry McLaurin for significant periods of the campaign, but this isn't expected to diminish interest from teams looking for a new head coach to spearhead their possible renaissance."
"After rejecting the chance to take interviews last year, all signs point to Kingsbury being more receptive to approaches this time around. And if Dianna Russini's recent revelations are accurate, it's not hard to see why."
The Washington Commanders have discussed moving on from offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury in 2026 regardless of whether he secures a head-coaching job. Kingsbury has faced criticism for offensive play-calling this season amid extended absences by quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Terry McLaurin. Kingsbury previously declined head-coaching interviews but appears more open to them this year. The relationship between Kingsbury and general manager Adam Peters is reportedly strained, creating internal concern. The team may delay final decisions about Kingsbury until the broader coaching market becomes clearer. Many fans expected Kingsbury to remain if no team hired him.
