Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury is popping back up on NFL teams' radars as a head coaching candidate after helping transform the team's attack in his first year. Kingsbury, who joined the staff under first-year head coach Dan Quinn, has helped No. 2 pick Jayden Daniels become the favorite to win Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Kingbury's name has been connected with NFL openings, most notably the Chicago Bears, who hope to build around No. 1 pick Caleb Williams. Kingsbury worked with Williams in 2023 while the two were at USC. Even if he becomes the franchise's top option for the opening, it isn't a guarantee that he'll leave the Commanders.
