Kliff Kingsbury to Stay as Commanders Offensive Coordinator for 2025

Kingsbury declined head coaching opportunities, including with the Saints, to continue working with rising star QB Jayden Daniels in Washington.

Kliff Kingsbury has decided to remain the Washington Commanders' offensive coordinator for a second season, turning down head coaching interest from the New Orleans Saints and other teams.
Kingsbury's decision ensures continuity for the Commanders' offense, which saw a dramatic turnaround in 2024, culminating in an NFC Championship appearance.
Quarterback Jayden Daniels, who had a record-setting rookie season under Kingsbury's guidance, will benefit from maintaining the same system and coaching staff in his second year.
The Saints' head coaching vacancy remains open, with other candidates being considered, as Kingsbury opted against joining a team with significant roster and cap challenges.
Kingsbury's buyout deal with the Arizona Cardinals, which pays him through 2026, allows him to be selective about future head coaching opportunities while continuing to build his résumé in Washington.
