It’s not every day that the firing of a college football head coach with a 35-40 record over six seasons becomes big national news. Even The Dally Caller — which is not exactly well-known for its sports reportage — had a headline on Saturday about the firing of Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who got his walking papers on Saturday after the Red Raiders finished their third consecutive losing season.
Neither is it every day that such a coach immediately becomes the subject of speculation over where he will land in NFL coaching ranks.
