Longtime NFL coach Kliff Kingsbury has picked out his latest gig for the upcoming season.
Kingsbury, the former head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, will be joining the Los Angeles Rams as a member of their offensive staff.
After being fired from the Cardinals in 2022, Kingsbury spent time as an offensive analyst at USC and then as the offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders.
Kingsbury arrives with loads of experience throughout his time in football that spans as far back as 2008.
Prior to that, Kingsbury was an NFL quarterback who was drafted by the New England Patriots before joining the New Orleans Saints, Denver Broncos, New York Jets and Buffalo Bills.
He also spent time with NFL Europe’s Cologne Centurions and the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes and Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Kingsbury then transitioned into coaching. After spending years at the University of Houston and Texas A&M before becoming the head coach at his alma mater, Texas Tech.
There, he went a combined 35-40 across six seasons – coaching the likes of Baker Mayfield and Patrick Mahomes.
After Texas Tech, Kingsbury joined the Cardinals. In four seasons, he went 28-37-1 and was fired following a 4-13 season in 2022.
In that time, he only reached the playoffs once – falling in the NFC Wild Card round to the eventual Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams.
Kingsbury’s return to the NFL came in 2024 with the Washington Commanders. He was instrumental in helping a rookie Jayden Daniels transition into the league.
But this season was full of strife and injuries, de-railing Washington’s campaign and leading to Kingsbury’s eventual firing.
