Former Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury looks like he won’t be returning to coaching anytime soon.
Per NFL reporter/analyst Peter Schrager, Kingsbury is reportedly telling teams that he won’t be fielding any interviews for vacant offensive coordinator positions at the moment for a pretty understandable reasons.
Kingsbury has reportedly bought a one-way ticket to Thailand and will be vacationing for the time being.
The Cardinals owe Kingsbury a ton of money after he signed an extension on his contract through 2027, so it looks like he’s going to use some of that money on a scenic getaway. Can you blame him?
As I just reported on FOX, multiple teams have contacted Kliff Kingsbury for their vacant OC job.
He bought a one way ticket to Thailand and has told teams (respectfully) that he’s not interested at the moment. @NFLonFOX

Kingsbury will likely coach again in the NFL if he wants to, and he could probably land a head coaching gig at the collegiate level, too. He’s still one of the more respected coaching minds of his generation, even if his time with Arizona ended on a sour note.
However, for now, it looks like Kingsbury has entered vacation mode and has no return flight booked to either the coaching ranks or the United States.
