Kliff Kingsbury to Join Rams Coaching Staff

Reports say his title remains undecided following Mike LaFleur’s move to Arizona.

Overview

  • ESPN, the Associated Press and NFL Network report Kingsbury has agreed to join Sean McVay’s staff, and the Rams have not issued an official announcement.
  • His specific role has not been set, with McVay expected to keep play-calling duties and passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase viewed as a leading in-house candidate for offensive coordinator.
  • The addition comes after offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur was hired as the Cardinals’ head coach last week, creating an opening on Los Angeles’ offensive staff.
  • Kingsbury and Washington mutually parted ways in January after two seasons that included a top-five scoring offense and an NFC Championship Game berth in 2024, followed by a 2025 decline amid key injuries.
  • He interviewed for multiple head-coaching and coordinator jobs this cycle, including the GiantsOC post, and held talks with McVay for more than two weeks before the reported agreement.
