After a disappointing 5-12 season with the Washington Commanders, Kliff Kingsbury and the team decided to part ways. The decision came after a season plagued with inconsistency and injuries for the Commanders, prompting Kingsbury and head coach Dan Quinn to go their separate ways.
Kingsbury gained attention around the league after a successful 2024 season, where he led Jayden Daniels to the NFC championship game. NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that Kingsbury is now looking to explore new opportunities in the coaching world.
With Kingsbury’s track record of working with talented quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes, Kyler Murray, and Caleb Williams, many teams are interested in bringing him on board. Here are five potential landing spots where Kingsbury could make a significant impact:
1. Tennessee Titans:
The Titans have faced criticism for their handling of 2025 No. 1 overall pick, Cam Ward. Kingsbury’s experience with developing quarterbacks could make him an attractive option for the Titans, especially as they look to maximize Ward’s potential.
2. Las Vegas Raiders:
With the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming draft, the Raiders have the opportunity to bring in a top talent like Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza. Kingsbury could be a valuable addition either as a head coach or offensive coordinator to help guide the Raiders to success.
3. Kansas City Chiefs:
The Chiefs’ offense struggled in 2025, despite having star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. A reunion with Kingsbury could inject new life into the offense and help the team bounce back in the upcoming season.
4. New York Giants:
Despite a 4-13 record, the Giants showed promise with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. Adding Kingsbury’s offensive expertise could further elevate Dart’s performance and solidify him as the franchise’s future.
5. Cleveland Browns:
The Browns face uncertainty at the quarterback position, with Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and potentially Deshaun Watson in the mix. Kingsbury could bring his offensive prowess to the team and help revitalize the offense after a tough 2025 season.
As Kingsbury explores his options, these five teams stand out as potential landing spots where he could make a significant impact. With his proven track record of success with quarterbacks, Kingsbury has the potential to elevate any team he joins to new heights in the upcoming season.
