Arr, mateys! Avast ye! The Washington Commanders be recruitin' none other than Kliff Kingsbury as their new offensive coordinator, in a wild twist o' events. Nay, he were said to be sailin' to the Las Vegas Raiders, but he changed course! Aye, the winds be changin', me hearties!
Kliff Kingsbury, a highly regarded offensive mind, has been hired as the new offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders under head coach Dan Quinn. This came as a surprise after Kingsbury was expected to join the Las Vegas Raiders in the same role.However, Kingsbury took himself out of the running for the Raiders job, according to his agent, Erik Burkhardt. Now, he will be working closely with the Commanders and head coach Quinn.
Washington holds the No. 2 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft after a tough season under Ron Rivera. There is speculation that Kingsbury's addition could lead to a trade with the Chicago Bears to secure the highly touted quarterback Caleb Williams, who Kingsbury worked closely with at USC.
Kingsbury's signature Air Raid offense will be implemented in Washington, where there is a talented group of wide receivers including Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, and Curtis Samuel. The team also has rookie quarterback Sam Howell, who showed promise in his first season.
It is worth noting that Eric Bieniemy, who was previously with Washington, may need to find a new role in the NFL with Kingsbury now on board. This could make Bieniemy an attractive option for teams still searching for an offensive coordinator.
Kingsbury brings head coaching experience to the table, having spent four seasons as the Arizona Cardinals' head coach. His best season with the Cardinals was in 2021, where he led the team to an 11-6 record and a playoff berth.
