Kliff Kingsbury Remains Commanders' Offensive Coordinator, Rejects Saints Interest

Kliff Kingsbury, the offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders, has decided to remain with the team for a second season, despite interest from the New Orleans Saints for their head coaching vacancy. His decision follows a successful turnaround for the Commanders, who advanced to the NFC Championship after improving from a four-win season. Kingsbury's return is viewed as a critical move for maintaining continuity in the Commanders' offense, especially for rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. Although he is considered a top candidate for head coaching positions in the future, Kingsbury opted to stay in Washington, indicating that the opportunity there was too significant to pass up. Meanwhile, the Saints continue their search for a new head coach, with Kingsbury's departure from consideration leaving them with five remaining candidates. The situation reflects Kingsbury's resurgence in the NFL after a challenging period with the Arizona Cardinals.
