Texas Tech football: Kliff Kingsbury a leading candidate for Cardinals’ job

It appears that the post-Texas Tech portion of Kliff Kingsbury’s career could take another fascinating turn. Just a month after agreeing to be the offensive coordinator at USC, it is not being rumored that the former Red Raider head coach is a leading candidate to be the next head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.

Since being fired by Kirby Hocutt on November 25th, the career of the 39 year-old has resembled a soap opera. The most recent plot twist came when it was reported Saturday that USC athletic director Lynn Swann was blocking Kingsbury from interviewing with the Cardinals and New York Jets.
