Kliff Kingsbury is expected to have his second NFL head coaching interview on Tuesday, and it sounds like he has a legitimate chance of landing the job.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Kingsbury will meet with the Arizona Cardinals, who have had “sincere interest” in him for a while.
The #AZCardinals are interviewing former #TexasTech coach & #USC OC Kliff Kingsbury for the vacant head-coaching job today, source said. He spent yesterday impressing the Jets, now has a chance to do the same to Arizona. They’ve had sincere interest in the innovator for a while.

According to Albert Breer of The MMQB, there has been a feeling around the NFL that Kingsbury is going to land the Cardinals’ job.
Ex-Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury interviewed with the Jets in New Jersey yesterday, and is with the Arizona Cardinals today. The feeling league-wide over the weekend was Kingsbury had the AZ job. We'll see what happens today.

Kingsbury interviewed for the New York Jets’ head coaching job on Monday, but it seems like he has a better chance of ending up in Arizona. There were also rumblings that he could land one of the most appealing offensive coordinator jobs in the NFL, but that no longer seems like a possibility.
While he is currently still the offensive coordinator at USC, that title is suddenly expected to be short-lived for Kingsbury.
