USC is adding a vague face to its coaching staff as Cliff Kingsbury joins the Trojans as an offensive analyst, according to multiple reports.

Kingsbury, 43, has spent the last four years as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals after six years as head coach at his alma mater, Texas Tech University.

Between these two terms, Kingsbury spent just over a month at USC. After being fired from Texas Tech after the 2018 season, Kingsbury was hired by Clay Helton to become the Trojans’ offensive coordinator and quarterback coach. and was replaced at USC by Graham Harrell.

Kingsbury’s results as head coach have been mixed. He made the postseason once in Arizona, but in his four seasons in the NFL he finished 28-37-1 and in Texas he finished 35-40 at Tech.

But despite a middling record as a head coach, no one can deny Kingsbury’s resume as a quarterback coach. I’ve worked with A&M’s Johnny Manziel, Houston’s Case Keenum, and others. In Arizona, Kyler Murray won his NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award in 2019 and helped him make two appearances in the Pro Bowl.
