I still think MB had a conversation with KK, before KK took USC job...and USC was his plan B all along.

We don't know USC's arrangement with him.

KK turned down the HC job at University of Houston to take OC at USC. Why?

At the time, the KK to NFL chatter was very low...they may have said sure young fella, if you get an NFL job you can leave.

No matter what, this sucks for USC but it happens all the time. Coaches get fired, players get cut, and contracts are broken.

I missed the tweets where BA was taken to task for unretiring (especially after saying the Browns would be the only job he would do it for)...These things happen, we have no idea what was discussed at USC WRT future, non-lateral job opportunities...and any reasonable person in any field would quickly bow out of any lesser paying, lower position if contacted by another company for promotion.

Hollow virtue signaling.

It’s hard for some people to wrap their heads around Kliff Kingsbury’s situation. The Jets sat down with the current USC offensive coordinator on Monday. The Cardinals, I’m told, are very interested in him. And he was fired as Texas Tech’s head coach on Nov. 24. So I asked a couple of high-end evaluators familiar with that program to gauge their reaction to Kingsbury landing squarely on the NFL’s radar after tallying a 35–40 record over six seasons at his alma mater.

“I’m not surprised at all,” said one AFC college scouting director. “He’s a really innovative offensive coach, he’s charismatic, he has that kind of feel to him. I think he’s kind of what the new age of these offensive coaches are now. Everyone’s trying to find the next McVay. … He produced a really good offense every year, and fell victim to the same thing the rest of the conference falls victim to. And try and get a kid to go to Lubbock.”

Another AFC exec said, “I’m not surprised at all. He’s a young, innovative offensive mind. With the success of guys like that [in the NFL], of course the NFL would want to talk to him.” On the plus side, Kingsbury is regarded as a wizard when it comes to strategy, play-calling and tendencies. The flip side is that as a head coach, he was on his own planet in Lubbock, and he wouldn’t be in the NFL. And there are questions as to he’d handle the ins and out of organizing an operation within a billion dollar company, and how he’d get a defensive staff put together. But it’s really not that hard to see why NFL teams, in this year’s market, are contemplating rolling the dice here.

King & Cowherd are uppidity snobs anyways. If USC truly wanted KK, they should have hired him as their HC. This is not a lateral move. I just accepted a position, but would leave tomorrow if a better opportunity arose.

USC jumped to sign K K but didn't cover their butt when they gave him a cheap buyout escape clause. They knew how much money K K got when he was fired/bought out by T Tech and gave him a much cheaper buy out at USC. K K is playing with house money. Lynn Swann may be a HOF player but not even close as an A D. USC took a shot and probably gave him the cheap out just to get him to sign on board. If they wanted him so desperately they could have fired Helton, which is imminent, and brought K K on as H C.

If urban meyer came out and said he wanted to coach at USC for health reasons they would fire their whole staff . These guys are full of it .

 

[Zeno]

So rumor is KK was flown to AZ on board Bidwills plane, I am sure that flight time wasn't wasted napping. Today's interview might just be wrapping up any questions that came up after the flight here, so a second interview in everything but title.

 

[DVontel]

USC’s problem is that they didn’t fire that bum Helton.

This is what it looks like when two dolts are having a discussion

Anyone know if MB and KK we're vacationing on the same beach during Thanksgiving?

“I played with Kliff and we have been friends ever since,” Brady said on WEEI, via NBCSportsBoston.com. “I see him from time to time. He’s been a friend of mine for a long time. Kliff has done a great job at Texas Tech, and I know he’s at USC, but it doesn’t surprise me that a lot of teams are interested. He’s just a great football mind and will be successful wherever he’s at.”

I hear KK dresses well.

 

[AZCB34]

Keim and Bidwill have learned nothing

Damn millenials!

(KK is is millenial, right?)

Although it was the Boomers who perfected the philosophy of "I Got Mine", huh King and Cowherd?

 

[crisper57]

Sure they have. When making a blunder, it is better to do it fast, than to slow-peddle it to your fanbase. Now when KK flames out, they can blame anything other than being stuck with the last girl at the dance!

Everyone is quick to point out his track record at Texas Tech but his offense was NEVER the problem. The horrible defense is what lost them games. Our defense has enough pieces to be top 10 with a good coordinator.

Kingsbury is an unquestioned offensive genius. As for the record at TT, try recruiting against Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and TCU. You ain't gonna win many of
those recruiting battles.

He better hire top-flight assistant coaches including all three coordinators if he's the choice. I reserve judgment on this one until I see
his press conference and the NFL experience level of his coaching staff.

Mahomes wasn't even a QB recruit by any team not named Texas Tech.

There are so many ways this can go, the route to actually winning it all is very narrow, can't just be offense as sooner or later you'll run into a great defense.

The NFL cycles all the time, just about the time offensive side peaks, even with the rule changes, then the real innovation will be on the defensive side of the ball.

Anticipating cycles means it's probably time to go against the herd and find a defensive genius but we won't and I don't blame them for that it's a copy cat league and well you saw what happened last year.
