Kliff Kingsbury reportedly plans to not take any interviews until Commanders’ playoff run has ended (7 Viewers)

Florio just posted it as well and I agree with him 100000000% every coach in the playoffs should be required to do that. It would annoy me to no end if your preparing for a game and an employee had to miss time in that crucial moment to go take an interview with another potential employer.

I get it you have to do it or you will miss out but if the rule was the same across the board you wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.

This is why the draft should be pushed back more as well. Just make a coach hiring season that runs for 2 weeks after the Super Bowl. This would force teams to go after GM’s first and no coach would have to choose between doing the right thing and focusing on the moment at hand or taking the interview to give themselves a better opportunity.

The current rules are stupid.

I mentioned it in another thread, but Kingsbury has no reason to rush. He is still earning HC money through 2026 from that contract extension he signed with Arizona before he was fired.

Hopefully we have our new HC before that happens.

Smart. Get that experience under Quinn who has learned and is building a culture there. He's also getting to pad his resume by working with JD5. He should look for an opportunity in 2026 when there are better QB options coming out in the draft that he can link up with.

Yes, he should sit out of this cycle and then see what next year looks like.

 

[St. Geezy]

So he’ll be available starting Sunday morning then, cool.

Cool Kliff, see you next week

 

[No2DC]

His stock will only go up and he will probably be the top candidate next year.

Correct. He’s got a great thing going right now. I’d love to have him as HC, but I won’t be mad if he stays put and gets his money

This! He is probably last on my list. I think he's a good coordinator, but don't think he's head coach material. And even though I loathe USC, what he did to them was super shady and makes me question his character, loyalty, ethics, etc. Not a guy I want leading my beloved Saints...

If we get shut out on McCarthy and Glenn, I don't mind waiting for Kliff.

More reason to pull for him to win this week so maybe we can make our hire before he can interview. I know I’m in the minority, but stay away….
