Las Vegas Raiders Suffers Setback as Kingsbury Withdraws from Offensive Coordinator Consideration
In a surprising turn of events, former head coach Kliff Kingsbury has officially removed himself from consideration for the Las Vegas Raiders’ offensive coordinator position. This news comes as a blow to the Raiders, who were hoping to secure Kingsbury as their next big hire under Antonio Pierce. The announcement was made by Kingsbury’s agent, Erik Burkhardt.
Kingsbury, who had previously worked with notable quarterbacks such as Patrick Mahomes and Kyler Murray, was one of four candidates interviewed for the job. However, with Alex Van Pelt already agreeing to become the New England Patriots’ offensive coordinator, the remaining potential contenders are Mike Sullivan and Luke Getsy.
Despite his departure from the Arizona Cardinals last season, Kingsbury’s youth and experience make him a promising candidate for future opportunities as an offensive coordinator or head coach in the league. Meanwhile, the Raiders will have to regroup and continue building on the late-season momentum they gained under Antonio Pierce.
This setback for the Raiders adds another twist to their ongoing search for an offensive coordinator. As the team moves forward, they will need to find a suitable candidate who can help propel their offense to new heights in the upcoming season.
