NFL Teams Interested In Kliff Kingsbury

Rumors are circulating about former Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury heading to USC to become their new offensive coordinator. That may still come to fruition, but no deal has been struck just yet and Kingsbury continues to consider offers from both the college ranks and the NFL, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter) hears. 

Kingsbury was canned by Texas Tech on Nov. 25 after the Red Raiders finished with a 5-7 record. Kingsbury went just 35-40 in his six seasons at the helm, but NFL teams – and other college programs – remain intrigued by his offensive mind and ingenuity.

Kingsbury is unlikely to receive head coaching consideration in the NFL, particularly at this juncture of the season, but he may fit as a quarterbacks coach or offensive coordinator elsewhere. There aren’t a ton of true vacancies for those positions out there, but clubs that are high on Kingsbury may be willing to bust out some pink slips and make room.
