Former Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury will interview with the Cardinals for their head coaching job on Tuesday, a league source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter). Kingsbury was reportedly blocked from interviews by USC, who recently hired him to be their offensive coordinator, but the Jets and Cardinals have found some sort of work around.
After Kingsbury’s interview with Gang Green on Monday, no one is quite sure about his employment status. As far as we know, he’s still signed up to be the offensive coordinator of the Trojans, but it’s possible that he has resigned from the post in order to pursue his NFL dreams.
Kingsbury built a reputation for innovative and explosive schemes at Texas Tech, but he would be an out-of-the-box hire for the Cardinals or the Jets. Then again, the Cardinals also have young offensive wizard Zac Taylor on the radar, so they’re not squarely locked in on head coaching retreads.
In addition to Kingsbury and Taylor, other known candidates for the job include Jim Caldwell, Dan Campbell, and Adam Gase.
Talk about rewarding mediocrity. Dude won 8 games ONCE in college. ONCE! Matt Rhule is 36-40 at Baylor and getting interviews. LMAO!
League is getting younger and more innovative. He might be a sneaky good hire.
College football is a monopoly for talent. Its the same dam teams every year so you cant blame someone for not having a good record. Chip Kelly won 3 games this year. Doesn’t change the fact he is a great college coach
The excuse maker is back. It’s not the coach, it’s the players, right?? Kelly got ran out of Philly, got ran out SF after ONE year. You really have a LOW bar for greatness
Mike Leach should be the obvious choice then, since he found a way to win at TT 86-43.
You dont know how to read lol. I said Kelly is a great COLLEGE coach and horrible NFL coach. No wonder you cant comprehend anything i say. Because you have the attention span of a 5 year old. Imagine thinking college football is anything but a monopoly for talent. You are really lost if you think you can evaluate those guys souly on wins. Its the NFL without a salary cap. There is no parity there. But go ahead and stay in your fantasy land
GREAT college coach??? How many Titles has he won? Again… LOW bar for greatness. Big has some of WORST defenses in the country and dude couldn’t even WIN 6 games this year. You’re a terrible judge of talent. I would love to coach against you.
Big 12
LOL your asking how many titles he has in a sport where someone had to pick 2 teams to play in a title game and the rest get bowl games. You are absolutely clueless. And dont bring up the playoff becausw that did not exost when he was at Oregon. But let me guess your golden boy Jim Harbaugh is a good college coach even though he has nothing to show for all the Michigan hype. Once agaon you prove how much of a hypocrite you are with your standards. Kelly is a good college coach and if you dont think so your just out of touch but that wouldnt suprise me coming from you
And for the record i think Harbaugh is a good coach at Michigan. His style is fine for college.
You know there is a difference between GOOD & GREAT, right? Any person with common sense knows this. Meyer = GREAT COACH
Saban = GREAT COACH
Sweeny= GREAT COACH
Bowden = GREAT COACH
Kelly= good Coach. Not GREAT.
It’s not that hard to comprehend the difference between the two. Maybe I give you too much credit.
So now your going to try and differentiate good and great. Your really reachinf for talking points. Sure he is not on those guys you listed level. I never compared him to them either. Those are hall of fame coaches your talking about
