Fired Commanders coach just got a shocking career lifeline no one saw coming

Just when it looked like former Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury would be on the proverbial scrapheap during the 2026 campaign, the experienced play-caller received a career lifeline that nobody saw coming. And it stands to benefit him greatly moving forward.

The Commanders parted ways with Kingsbury after a crunch meeting with head coach Dan Quinn failed to resolve their differences on how best to take the offense forward. Nobody was shedding too many tears, and teams weren't exactly blowing up his phone with job offers either.

Kingsbury interviewed for the Baltimore Ravens' head coaching vacancy.
