Ex-Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury pulls out of Raiders job, reportedly a favorite to become Commanders' new OC

The last time we heard from the Las Vegas Raiders, they were reportedly expected to hire former Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury as their next offensive coordinator under promoted head coach Antonio Pierce.

Something changed in the two days since then.

Kingsbury has withdrawn from consideration for the job due to a breakdown in negotiations, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Saturday, citing the coach's agent. Now, Kingsbury is reportedly a favorite for the Washington Commanders' offensive coordinator gig.

"Consideration" feels like the wrong word choice in this situation, as Kingsbury's job with the Raiders was seemingly a done deal.
