“If the Dallas Cowboys want hope in the near future… go steal Cliff Kingsbury from the Washington Commanders… Make Cliff the head coach“Bryant tweeted.
Kingsbury, known for his innovative offensive schemes, previously served as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals from 2019-2022.
Although his tenure with the Cardinals has been marked by inconsistency, he is widely regarded as a talented offensive mind with a knack for developing young quarterbacks, which has been the case with Commanders rookie Jayden Daniels leading a campaign offensive rookie of the year.
Additionally, the veteran coach also worked with Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, who became a two-time Pro Bowler during his head coaching tenure, as well as Caleb Williams, who played under Kingsbury when he was a senior offensive analyst at USC in 2008. 2023.
As the current Commanders offensive coordinator, the offense ranks third in total yards (392.0), 11th in passing yards (228.1), second in rushing yards (163.9 ) and third in points (29.2).
the commander’s offensive:
49% of drives reach the red zone
No. 1 in the NFL since at least 2000
61% of drives earn points
No. 1 in the NFL since at least 2000
and guess what?

The Cowboys are currently struggling with a 3-5 record and have been criticized for their offensive performance under head coach Mike McCarthy. As the team enters a crucial period of the season, speculation about McCarthy’s future has intensified.
Dallas currently ranks 31st in rushing offense, averaging 82 yards per game, and 20th in offense, averaging 21.4 points per game, which is a considerable drop from 29.9 points per game from last season.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for McCarthy who is in his final season under contract as head coach. However, the former Pro Bowl receiver and Cowboys fan favorite has certainly added fuel to the fire surrounding the team’s coaching situation.
