After initially being denied permission to speak to USC offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, the Jets reportedly have interviewed him.
The Athletic reported the Jets and Kingsbury were meeting Monday afternoon. This comes after he was blocked from talking to NFL teams last week by USC, where he was hired a month ago. It is unclear whether Kingsbury resigned from USC or the school relented and gave teams permission.
A school spokesman would only say, “He’s still listed on our website’s Athletic Department staff directory.”
The 39-year-old former Texas Tech coach has become a hot name during this coaching cycle.
