Coming into this season, it was apparent that Kliff Kingsbury had to start winning if he wanted to keep his job. After a 5-2 start, most agreed that his job was about as safe as it could be. The defense was playing well, the run game was effective, and Alan Bowman looked to be steering the offense in the right direction for years to come. Many Red Raider fans thought this could be an 8 or even 9-win season with the way things were shaping up after 7 games.
Fast Forward 3 weeks; with 3 losses in a row and 2 of those being at home, it’s easy to speculate about Kliff returning as the head coach next year.
