Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury is reportedly emerging as a favorite to take over as the next head coach of a struggling NFC team.
Kliff Kingsbury was fired two years ago after an up-and-down four-year tenure with the Arizona Cardinals. But he’s suddenly a hot candidate again thanks to his success with Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Kingsbury is a top candidate to take over as the Bears’ new head coach. Matt Eberflus was fired on Friday, with Thomas Brown taking over as the interim HC:
“Kliff Kingsbury, of course, worked with Caleb Williams in USC. Now thriving as OC with the Commanders. Certainly one to keep an eye on.”
From @NFLGameDay: The #Bears now have a coveted opening, and expect a wide-ranging search. They'll consider all the top candidates, including #Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury — whose ties to Caleb Williams are obvious. Plus, #Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown is expected back soon. pic.twitter.com/tYqxwUkjvf
