Unbelievable:The former head coach Kliff Kingsbury of St.louis cardinals has officially announced his return to the team.
Kliff Kingsbury has rejoined the National Football League.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports that Kingsbury has reached an agreement to become the next offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders.
The Commanders declared the agreement to be formal on Monday.
Dan Quinn’s first significant hire since joining the Commanders is Kingsbury. Although the terms of his deal are currently unknown, it is said to be a three-year arrangement. The Commanders are now moving on from former offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy following Kingsbury’s arrival in Washington.
I’ve always kept in touch with Kliff,” Quinn remarked on Monday. “Kyle was tough to resist, which is also why I wanted to hire him years ago. He would extend the field both vertically and horizontally, feeling the same emotions you did about Kliff. It’s going to be difficult. The ability to match up, form, move quickly, take long, aggressive, and risk-taking shots.
“You were recording names as a coach. Should this become a possibility for you, this is the person I would like to speak with if I were given the opportunity.”
earlier this week with the Las Vegas Raiders, who are led by new head coach Antonio Pierce. But following a breakdown in contract discussions, Kingsbury allegedly pulled his name from consideration on Saturday. Then, in Washington, he rapidly became the favorite for the position.
Quinn, who assumed the position after serving as the Dallas Cowboys’ defensive coordinator for the previous three seasons, will now have Kingsbury as a member of the Commanders. According to reports, Quinn and the Commanders were also considering hiring Chip Kelly, the head coach of UCLA, Brian Fleury, the coach of the San Francisco 49ers tight ends, and other candidates.
On Sunday night, the Commanders also appointed a new defensive coordinator. Joe Whitt Jr. was signed by the team, according to Rapoport. Whitt was Quinn’s passing-game coordinator and backup coach before to this. On Monday, he was scheduled to interview with the Cowboys for the role of defensive coordinator.
