Jerry Jones has led an underwhelming coaching search so far, but the right candidate is in his division and working for his former assistant.

Kliff Kingsbury is expected to return for a second season as the Washington Commanders' offensive coordinator.

The Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury had credited head coach Dan Quinn for the team's mentality that has powered them in his first season.

Now that the dust is settling on Brian Schottenheimer's hire, many Cowboys fans are wondering ...Did Dallas miss out on Kliff Kingsbury?

Kliff Kingsbury will remain the Washington Commanders’ offensive coordinator despite interest from the New Orleans Saints and other teams during this head-coaching cycle, according to multiple reports. Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy also will not be the Saints’ new head coach this season, according to multiple reports.

Former Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury was a hot candidate to potentially re-take a throne this offseason after a successful regular season with the Washington Commanders as their offensive coordinator.

When the Commanders took down the Lions, the Cowboys realized Kliff Kingsbury could be their answer at head coach.

Kingsbury came to Washington after spending four seasons as the Cardinals’ head coach, going 28-37-1 in the regular season with zero playoff wins before getting fired after the 2022 season. The Commanders enjoyed a renaissance season under head coach Dan Quinn and Kingsbury this year, going 12-5 and winning their first postseason game since 2005.

The Dallas Cowboys are still searching for their next head coach. They could target a Washington Commanders coordinator for their coaching vacancy.

Kingsbury ended up back in college after four seasons as head coach with the Arizona Cardinals. As head coach, Arizona had a 28-37-1 record, including one playoff appearance in 2021. Arizona fired Kingsbury 10 months after giving him a contract extension that goes through the 2027 season.
