If Kliff Kingsbury is to land a head-coaching job this offseason, he won't do so as the sitting offensive coordinator of the Washington Commanders.
Kingsbury and the team mutually agreed to part ways on Tuesday, according to multiple reports, with the coach seeking other opportunities elsewhere.
The Commanders on Tuesday also fired defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr., according to multiple reports, marking an extensive reset for coach Dan Quinn's staff.
Kingsbury, 46, entered the season as a name expected to be at the forefront of the 2026 NFL coaching carousel after helping quarterback Jayden Daniels become the nearly unanimous Offensive Rookie of the Year. The Commanders rode an offense that ranked fifth in scoring to a surprising run to the NFC championship game.
Kingsbury eschewed interest from the New Orleans Saints for their top job to return to his role with the Commanders.
