Kliff Kingsbury reportedly interviewing for NFL jobs
Kliff Kingsbury has reportedly cleared USC’s hurdle and is speaking with NFL teams about potential job opportunities.
According to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports, Kingsbury is now taking on NFL interviews. It’s unclear if this means he has resigned as USC’s offensive coordinator or whether the school relented on allowing him to interview elsewhere.

USC was taking a pretty firm stance against allowing Kingsbury to interview, so the logical likelihood is that he quit his job in order to interview elsewhere, though we’re awaiting confirmation on that. If it is the case, he’ll probably find a soft landing somewhere, even if it’s as an offensive coordinator and not a head coach.
