Like the Commanders, something felt off about the Eagles all season. The defense didn't pack the same punch. The offensive scheme was bland, predictable, and everything in between. Rumors of friction between head coach Nick Sirianni, quarterback Jalen Hurts, and wide receiver A.J. Brown were rife. Running back Saquon Barkley never came close to reaching the incredible heights of 2024.

[Kliff] Kingsbury's head coaching candidacy is interesting despite Washington's struggles. He's a potential fit in Tennessee, with a young quarterback in Cam Ward who fits his style of offense. Las Vegas, should that job open as many around the league expect, will take a hard look at improving its offense. Kingsbury has been selective but is also open to becoming a head coach again. So while he's not the shiniest name because of Washington's record, I could see him being in the mix again.

The Washington Commanders had nothing to lose when they matched the Denver Broncos' touchdown in overtime. Head coach Dan Quinn went for a two-point conversion to seal the win, which was the correct call. Unfortunately, they fell just short of a stunning upset. Kliff Kingsbury called the perfect play to scheme veteran running back Jeremy McNichols wide open. It was there for the taking, but quarterback Marcus Mariota couldn't get his pass over Broncos edge rusher Nik Bonitto when push came to shove.

Last offseason, we saw former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson accept a head coaching job in the division with Chicago, so maybe Kingsbury could be the latest to follow that track. Kingsbury has done wonders for the Commanders offense with a young Jayden Daniels, and could bring a similar boost to Dart's development in New York. On top of being one of the top offensive minds in the NFL,

Kingsbury was a hot name on last year's head coaching cycle after galvanizing his career with the Commanders. The New Orleans Saints' job was reportedly his if he wanted it, but the play-caller opted to stay in Washington, citing his love for the job, working with Jayden Daniels, and learning so much from Dan Quinn as driving forces behind his decision.
