Commanders and Kliff Kingsbury Part Ways After Dispute Over Offensive Direction

Sources describe a philosophical clash over how to build the offense around Jayden Daniels.

Overview

  • Jayden Daniels and other key offensive players were described as blindsided and disappointed by the decision to move on from Kingsbury, according to Jordan Schultz.
  • The Commanders also parted with defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr., accelerating a broader overhaul of Dan Quinn’s staff.
  • Multiple reports highlight allegations of front‑office influence on coaching and personnel decisions, with some insiders suggesting Quinn did not seek to dismiss his coordinators.
  • Kingsbury is expected to interview for head‑coaching vacancies with the Giants and Titans, and separate reporting frames the Ravens as a speculative fit.
  • Washington has begun its coordinator searches, with reported OC candidates including Brian Daboll, Klay Kubiak and Mike LaFleur, and ESPN has floated Raheem Morris as a potential defensive coordinator target.
