Baltimore Beatdown
The Baltimore Ravens completed an interview with Kliff Kingsbury for their head coaching vacancy on Monday, per the team.
Kingsbury, 46, began his coaching career in college, spending four seasons in multiple roles at Houston before moving to Texas A&M as the offensive coordinator. After one season, he became the head coach at Texas Tech University, a role he held for six seasons before moving to the NFL, where he was hired by the Arizona Cardinals as their head coach in 2019.
Kingsbury coached the Cardinals from 2019 to 2022 and earned a six-year contract extension following an impressive 2021 season in which the team won 11 games and reached the playoffs. He was fired just one year later after a disappointing 4-13 record in 2022 and went back to the collegiate level for the 2023 season, joining USC as a senior offensive analyst.
In 2024, Kingsbury returned to the NFL as the offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders. His first season resulted in tremendous success, led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, and the team made it to the NFC Championship game. The 2025 season was decimated by injuries and underperformance, leading to a mutual parting of ways between Kingsbury and the Commanders on Tuesday.
Kingsbury has had an up-and-down coaching career, but he is known for helping many young quarterbacks develop; outside of Daniels, he has worked with Patrick Mahomes, Kyler Murray, and Caleb Williams.
