Why Kliff Kingsbury became a hot NFL commodity so fast
Kliff KingsburyKliff Kingsbury is set to become the new Arizona Cardinals head coach, capping a rapid rise from the college ranks that says as much about the current state of NFL coaching as it does about Kingsbury’s particular strengths.
Kingsbury, 39, had a 35-40 record in six years at Texas Tech before being fired after this past season and quickly being named offensive coordinator for USC. According to one report, Kingsbury will owe USC a $150,000 buyout to exit a job he never actually began, though the Cardinals are expected to cover that.
Meanwhile, multiple outlets reported that Kingbury’s Cardinals contract is for four years with a fifth-year option.
