Kliff Kingsbury

FOX’s Jordan Schultz reports Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury will stay in Washington and not interview for the Saints head coaching vacancy.

This was always the way the reports about Kingsbury seemed to be leaning, and he essentially decided against interviewing with the Saints and Bears during Washington’s playoff run. Kingsbury’s has revitalized his career prospects with Jayden Daniels and seems likely to be a hot coaching candidate in 2026. Of course, we would have said the same thing in Bobby Slowik’s blurb in 2025, so this isn’t without risk for Kingsbury. But ultimately, as Adam Schefter put it when asked about Kingsbury a week ago, it was very obvious that he was “not rushing to become a head coach again.”
