The Los Angeles Rams have hired Kliff Kingsbury as the team's new assistant head coach, according to a report from @AdamSchefter of ESPN. The move adds a high-profile veteran coach to Sean McVay’s staff as the organization continues to reshape its leadership hierarchy for the 2026 season.
Kingsbury joins the Rams after most recently serving as the offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders. His transition to Los Angeles marks a return to the NFC West, where he previously spent four seasons as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals from 2019 to 2022. Known for his offensive innovation, Kingsbury also spent time at USC as a senior offensive analyst before returning to the NFL ranks.
By bringing in Kingsbury, McVay gains a seasoned assistant with significant experience in quarterback development and play-calling. The hiring is the latest in a series of coaching adjustments for the Rams as they look to build on their recent competitive window. Further details regarding the specific responsibilities of the assistant head coach role have not yet been disclosed by the team.
