Kliff Kingsbury is waiting on all potential head-coaching interviews

On Sunday, we explained that Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury can wait on conducting one or more head coach interviews. He has decided to wait for them all.

According to a source familiar with the situation, Kingsbury has decided to wait until the Commanders’ season ends to interview any interested teams.

He is still being paid into 2026 as a head coach of the Cardinals. So there is no financial urgency for him to become head coach again.

It is urgent to fully focus on the task at hand, which consists of playing the Lions on Saturday night. Just six days after the franchise’s first playoff win in 19 years.

The Bears and Saints have submitted interview requests to Kingsbury. It is believed the Jaguars may also make a request. He could have been interviewed by one or more teams this week.

Kingsbury has ultimately chosen to do what some believe the league should require all assistant coaches to do — devote all of their time and effort to preparing for the next game, without the distractions that come from preparing for interviews, draw up a preliminary line-up. staff, and is talking to another team about possibly becoming its next head coach.

Every second spent on these tasks is one less second that can be spent getting ready to try to advance to the next round of the postseason. The Commanders and their fans should be happy that Kingsbury has decided to spend all his time coming up with a strategy to beat the Lions.
