Kingsbury was expected to take over as the offensive coordinator with the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week under new head coach Antonio Pierce. On Saturday, however, Kingsbury reportedly withdrew his name from consideration after a breakdown in contract negotiations. He then quickly became a favorite for the job in Washington.
Now, Kingsbury will join the Commanders under Quinn, who took the job after spending the last three seasons as the Dallas Cowboys' offensive coordinator.
Kingsbury last spent four seasons in the league as the Cardinals' head coach, where he compiled a 28-37-1 record. They reached the playoffs just once, and the team went 4-13 in his final season with the franchise before he was fired last January.
