Kliff Kingsbury’s NFL journey is the kind of story that’s both low-key and iconic—a rare combo. From slinging passes and breaking records at Texas Tech to leading the Arizona Cardinals as head coach, the man has seen it all. After a rollercoaster stint in Arizona, he’s now settled in as the Washington Commanders’ offensive coordinator, working to breathe life into their offense and prove his play-calling brilliance still holds up in the league.

But how’s his bank looking? Has all this gridiron hustle been as rewarding financially as it has been professionally? Spoiler: Kingsbury’s grind has paid off big time. With his Commanders’ chapter in full swing, let’s take a closer look at how the man turned his football journey into a lucrative success story.

What is Kliff Kingsbury’s net worth?

Kingsbury’s net worth? That’s another question we need answers for. Because, as of right now, there isn’t a single piece about his numbers. But, according to the Cardinals pay slip for Kingsbury during his time with them. It was estimated that he was going to get $30 million guaranteed. But he was fired in the middle of it and is getting severance pay till 2027.  So, speculation is that his net worth will be in double digits and, of course, in millions. Most of that dough comes from his coaching career, particularly his time with the Arizona Cardinals and Texas Tech. No Super Bowl rings, but he’s definitely got respect for his offensive playmaking.

Plus, his days at Texas Tech—where he set all kinds of records—definitely set him up for success. In the 2002 season, Kingsbury set a new record with 5,017 passing yards and 45 touchdown passes, nearly doubling his previous season’s mark.

What is Kliff Kingsbury’s salary?

As the Commanders’ offensive coordinator, his exact salary is a bit of a mystery—not because the team’s shy about numbers, but because no one’s spilling the beans. Back when he was with the Cardinals, he was pulling in a cool $5.5 million a year. So, it’s fair to speculate he’s probably still in the $5–6 million ballpark. After all, who wants to take a pay cut when they’ve been living in the top-dollar tier?

Sure, stepping into an OC role might seem like a downgrade from head coach, but Kingsbury’s still raking it in while doing what he does best—dialing up offensive magic. Washington’s banking on his ability to revamp their offense, and honestly, it’s starting to pay off. With his legendary playbook and knack for scheming, Kingsbury’s proving he’s worth every penny.

How long is Kliff Kingsbury’s contract?

Before Washington, Kingsbury had a pretty intense run as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals from 2018 to 2024. His time in Arizona had its ups and downs, but he’s still respected for his offensive systems. Now, with the Commanders, he’s looking to bring a new energy to their offense. Plus, there’s chatter that the Dallas Cowboys considered him for a head coaching role recently. Although, he really is in no rush to get a new job (thanks to all the moolah he’s still getting from Arizona.)

Kliff Kingsbury signed a deal with the Washington Commanders last. Is it 2 year contract? 3 years? We don’t know that yet. But all we know is he might be a great candidate for some other teams now. If things go well, don’t be surprised if his deal gets extended or he gets a new job altogether! Honestly, Kliff Kingsbury proved himself this year. That’s all we can say at the end.
