"Kingsbury refused to consider leaving Washington last offseason. He was happy in his current role, developing quarterback Jayden Daniels and learning a significant amount from head coach Dan Quinn. The Commanders were also in the midst of a deep postseason run, and he didn't want his focus to go anywhere else. Kliff Kingsbury focused on Commanders' season finale, not the NFL head coach hiring cycle"
"Despite the Commanders' lowly record, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN still expects Kingsbury to be an interesting name to watch in the upcoming hiring cycle. The play-caller was once again asked about the prospect during his final weekly media availability of the season. And as expected, he remained focused on the task at hand. "Gonna cross that bridge when and if we get there. The focus right now is trying to beat Philly. Excited to work with Josh [Johnson] one more time.""
Kliff Kingsbury is expected to attract head-coaching interest despite Washington's failure to meet this season's lofty expectations. Only two offensive coordinator vacancies currently exist, with more openings anticipated after the 2025 campaign. Kingsbury previously declined to pursue head-coaching roles last offseason while focusing on developing quarterback Jayden Daniels and learning from Dan Quinn during a postseason run. Washington won just four games this season amid injuries, producing significant disappointment. Kingsbury remained focused on the season finale and emphasized immediate priorities, saying he would 'cross that bridge when and if we get there' and that the focus was on beating Philadelphia and working with Josh Johnson.
