"Kingsbury and head coach Dan Quinn couldn't reach a compromise on how best to take the offense forward in Washington. The offensive coordinator was let go, and attention immediately turned to whether he would get head-coaching interest in the 2026 cycle. One interview arrived from the Baltimore Ravens, and that's about it. Kingsbury then focused on returning as an offensive coordinator, but the Tennessee Titans went with Brian Daboll. And the latest team to speak with the play-caller also went in a different direction,"
"But much like everyone else so far, they chose another option. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Giants have hired Matt Nagy as their offensive coordinator over Kingsbury. This was instantly met with frustration and vitriol among the New York fan base, especially considering he didn't do enough to stick around with the Kansas City Chiefs under Andy Reid or get a head-coaching job anywhere else."
Kliff Kingsbury parted ways with the Washington Commanders after failing to reach a compromise with head coach Dan Quinn on the offense. He was fired as offensive coordinator and was expected to attract 2026 head-coaching interest, but only interviewed once with the Baltimore Ravens. Kingsbury pursued coordinator openings, but the Tennessee Titans hired Brian Daboll instead. The New York Giants met with him but ultimately hired Matt Nagy as offensive coordinator. Fan reaction to Nagy's hiring included frustration and vitriol. Critics point to Kingsbury's offensive scheme, reported disconnect with general manager Adam Peters, and diminishing league confidence as reasons other teams passed.
