“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time collaborating with Coach Kliff Kingsbury at Commanders.
QB Jayden Daniels has received a lot of praise from the Washington Commanders, but he has also given his coordinator, Kliff Kingsbury, some credit.
The Washington Commanders have initiated a fresh combination between their offensive coordinator and quarterback for the 2024 season. Last year, under head coach Ron Rivera, the team operated with QB Sam Howell and OC Eric Bieniemy.
However, with Dan Quinn taking over as the team’s head coach this offseason, all three of them have departed. Quinn has brought in former USC senior offensive analyst Kliff Kingsbury as the new OC, and they’ve drafted Heisman-winning QB Jayden Daniels to lead the offense.
The partnership of an accomplished offensive strategist like Kingsbury, who honed his skills at Texas Tech before coaching the Arizona Cardinals for four seasons, with the dynamic dual-threat quarterback Jayden Daniels promises to be electrifying.
“He’s crafted an offense that’s incredibly accommodating to quarterbacks, making it accessible for everyone in the team to grasp.”
– Jayden Daniels discussing Kliff Kingsbury
Though their time together has been brief, with mandatory minicamp just wrapping up, Jayden Daniels shared during a media session after Wednesday’s practice that his rapport with Kingsbury is thriving.
“It’s been fantastic. Kliff’s offensive acumen, his coaching style, and his ability to devise strategies are remarkable. He’s developed a very quarterback-friendly system, making it easy for everyone in the team to understand and execute. It enables us to compete at a high level every practice day without feeling overwhelmed or confused. Kliff excels at simplifying things, not just for the quarterbacks, but for the entire offense, allowing us to play with speed and confidence.”
Kingsbury’s reputation for streamlining the game for his quarterbacks aligns with Daniels’ observations. Their synchronization will be crucial for the Commanders’ offensive success in 2024, and Daniels’ remarks suggest that they are quickly understanding each other’s preferences and methods.
