Mahomes-Kingsbury Reunion? Chiefs Eye Familiar Face

Patrick Mahomes may soon reunite with a familiar face, as the Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly considering Kliff Kingsbury for the offensive coordinator position. This potential move arises amid speculation that current offensive coordinator Matt Nagy might leave the franchise, with interviews scheduled with the Tennessee Titans.

Kingsbury, who previously served as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, is now available after mutually agreeing to part ways with the Washington Commanders. While some reports suggest Kingsbury may pursue head coaching opportunities, he could be persuaded to join the Chiefs, especially if Patrick Mahomes expresses a desire for this reunion.

Mahomes has spoken highly of Kingsbury, calling him "one of the first people that truly believed in me" during their time at Texas Tech University, where Kingsbury coached him from 2013 to 2018. Despite a 16-21 record and no bowl wins in college, Mahomes credits Kingsbury with helping him develop his game while retaining his natural style. Andy Reid himself has indicated Kingsbury influenced the Chiefs' decision to draft Mahomes in 2017.
