Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury is returning in 2025 and not pursuing the HC opening with the New Orleans Saints.

Washington’s foundation is now set, but there is plenty of roster construction remaining for General Manager Adam Peters.

Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury will reportedly return to the team next season and eschew interest from the New Orleans

Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was a popular contender for some head coaching vacancies this offseason, but has decided to return to his post for next season.

Per FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz, Kingsbury has elected to run it back with the Commanders next season following the team's stunningly quick year-over-year turnaround. Washington went from having a 4-13 record in 2023 to reaching the NFC Championship Game roughly 12 months later, partly thanks to the play-caller.

Adam Peters seems to think that the Commanders' offensive coordinator could be in line for another head coaching opportunity sooner rather than later.

The Houston Texans have fired second-year offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, league sources confirmed to The Athletic. The move comes six days after the team’s AFC divisional round loss — its second in as many seasons — to the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday.

Kingsbury turned down a head coaching interview from the Saints to remain as Washington’s offensive coordinator. Plus, notes on hirings around the NFL.

Kingsbury will reportedly stay in Washington, taking himself out of consideration for the New Orleans Saints' head coaching vacancy.
