Former Washington Commanders offensive coordinator and Arizona Cardinals head coach  Kliff Kingsbury  has his next job. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, he’s joining the coaching staff of the Los Angeles Rams .

Kingsbury brings his head coaching experience to Sean McVay’s staff. At the NFL level, he was the head coach in Arizona for four seasons, going 28-37-1. He made the playoffs once. At the time,  Kyler Murray  was his quarterback.

Prior to that, Kingsbury had been the head coach of the  Texas Tech Red Raiders . His time there saw him coach several future NFL players. The most notable of those was, of course,  Patrick Mahomes .

Overall, Kingsbury went 35-40 overall and 19-35 in Big 12 play. In his own playing days, he’d also been a quarterback at Texas Tech who would go on to have a brief NFL career.

Most recently, Kingsbury spent two seasons as the offensive coordinator with the Commanders. There, he helped  Jayden Daniels  transition into the NFL and make the NFC Championship Game a season ago. However, injuries would contribute to a letdown of a season in 2025 and Washington and Kingsbury have since moved on.

This past season was challenging for Kingsbury and the Washington offense, as Daniels only played in seven games due to injuries. That led to the offense finishing in the bottom half of the league in total yards per game (318.8) and points per game (20.9).
