Kliff Kingsbury led the Washington Commanders offense to a season nobody saw coming. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has looked near perfect and cool under pressure as he continues to lead his team. The Commanders upset the Lions on Saturday night in the NFC Divisional Round, which has many people around the league noticing.
Two of those who have taken notice of Kingsbury's success this season are New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson and running back Breece Hall. The running back started the conversation and his teammate replied to his post on X.
"Kliff Dialing that (emoji) up," Hall wrote.

Fans quickly took notice of the young Jets players impressed by Kingsbury's offensive playcalling. As the New York Jets are on the hunt for their next head coach, many fans on social media are questioning why team owner Woody Johnson hasn't considered him an option.
"Tell Woody Johnson to hire him," a fan said.
The fans on X continued to reply to Breece Hall's post, all rooting for Kliff Kingsbury to be the Jets' next head coach.
"I wish we’d hire him. that offense with you guys would be so fun," one fan said.
"Breece we need him. Pls recruit," another suggested.
"Say what you’re thinking," said one person who suspected Hall would want Kingsbury in New York next season.
Fans' continued pursuit of Kliff Kingsbury to, at the very least, receive an interview from the New York Jets. If the Commanders offense continues to impress as it has, there will likely be a lot of interest for him as a head coach.
"That’s ur future HC," another said.
"Bro better be requesting a trade," one fan not willing to part ways with Kingsbury said.
"Are people watching what Kliff is doing tonight?!?! Sheeeshhh," questioned another impressed fan.
Kliff Kingsbury won't consider another coaching opportunity until after season
While the New York Jets haven't shown interest in possibly interviewing Kliff Kingsbury, two other NFL teams reportedly have. According to a report from NBC this weekend, the New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears have requested interviews with Kingsbury for the head coach role.
The NBC report stated that Kingsbury won't entertain any opportunity until after the Washington Commanders' playoff run has come to a close.
Kingsbury doesn't want to be distracted from his current job, which he has exceeded this season. Although another head coaching opportunity is likely in the cards, he may not be too quick to jump at it.
Kingsbury will continue to be paid by the Arizona Cardinals for the five-year extension worth around $37.5 million, which he signed in 2022.
