Commanders' Kliff Kingsbury Emerges as Potential Head Coaching Candidate

The offensive coordinator expresses interest in returning to a head coaching role but remains focused on Washington's playoff run.

Kliff Kingsbury, Washington Commanders offensive coordinator, stated he is open to returning to a head coaching role 'at some point' but has not confirmed plans to interview this hiring cycle.
Kingsbury has helped lead the Commanders to an 11-5 record, their first 11-win season in over three decades, with a top-five offense and standout rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.
NFL teams, including the Chicago Bears, could consider Kingsbury as a candidate after Jan. 6, following league rules for interviewing coaches from playoff teams.
Kingsbury's prior head coaching experience, including his tenure with the Arizona Cardinals, has reportedly shaped his approach, emphasizing the importance of setting clear team standards from the outset.
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, who worked with Kingsbury at USC, praised his qualities as a coach, sparking speculation about a potential reunion in Chicago.
