Kliff Kingsbury appears set to actually coach the USC Trojans.

In December 2018, Kingsbury was hired by then-head coach Clay Helton as the offensive coordinator of the Trojans. Just one month later, Kingsbury left USC to become a head coach in the NFL.

In four years in Glendale, Arizona, Kingsbury went 28-37, making the playoffs once before being fired in January. 

He’ll return to the college game in order to coach the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, Caleb Williams, who will be returning for his junior season.

Kingsbury, a college quarterback himself, has worked with elite quarterbacks at the college level, coaching Patrick Mahomes at Texas Tech and Johnny Manziel at Texas A&M.
