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

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

The Saints had two other candidates withdraw from their coaching search, with Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady choosing to stay in Buffalo and Aaron Glenn opting to take the Jets’ head coaching job after a virtual interview with the Saints. Both Brady and Glenn previously were assistant coaches in New Orleans.

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.

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 will also not be the Saints’ new head coach this season, according to multiple reports.

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

Kliff Kingsbury is now free to interview for the New Orleans Saints head coach job, but will he? He may choose to stay with the Washington Commanders:

After some intense speculation, Kliff Kingsbury has decided to snub the Saints to officially return to the Commanders.

The Saints have another coach out of the running in their head coach search, with Kliff Kingsbury staying on the Washington Commanders

Kingsbury declined to conduct any interviews while the Commanders remained in the postseason, where they lost on Sunday to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC championship. The Saints are the only NFL team still seeking to hire a head coach and had requested an interview with Kingsbury that he will not take.

The Washington Commanders are still trying to process the sudden and disappointing end to the 2024 season. However, two days after the Commanders lost the NFC championship game to the Eagles, they received some terrific news.
