Report: Kingsbury joining Rams' coaching staff

Kliff Kingsbury is joining the Los Angeles Rams' offensive coaching staff to work under Sean McVay, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Peter Schrager.

The role that Kingsbury will assume in Los Angeles isn't yet known.

The 46-year-old parted ways with the Washington Commanders in early January after a two-year run as their offensive coordinator. He helped lead them to the NFC Championship Game during the 2024 season, the first time that the franchise had advanced past the divisional round since the 1991 campaign. Quarterback Jayden Daniels flourished under Kingsbury that season, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year while racking up 31 total touchdowns.

However, Washington took a step back in Daniels' sophomore campaign, missing the playoffs after posting a 5-12 record. Daniels sat out 10 games due to injuries, and the Commanders' offense finished 23rd in total yards gained.

Kingsbury previously served as the Arizona Cardinals' head coach from 2019-22.

Mike LaFleur, who was the Rams' offensive coordinator for the last three seasons, recently took the Cardinals' head coaching position after they fired Jonathan Gannon in early January.

This season, the Rams ranked first in offensive success rate and second in EPA/play, according to Ben Baldwin's database. Quarterback Matthew Stafford, who was named league MVP on Thursday, announced during his acceptance speech that he'll return the team for the 2026 campaign.
