The Washington Commanders will keep Kliff Kingsbury as their offensive coordinator after he received interest for head coaching vacancies during this hiring cycle. The New Orleans Saints, the only team with a remaining vacancy, requested to interview Kingsbury and he later withdrew his name from consideration for the job.
Kingsbury's decision, which was initially reported by Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz and confirmed by ESPN, comes after Washington's run to the NFC championship game where they fell to the Philadelphia Eagles. He declined coaching interviews while the Commanders remained in the playoffs which kept him from potential interviews until the team was eliminated. He then opted against interviews, deciding to stay in Washington for a second season after the team fell one game short of the Super Bowl.
