The Arizona Cardinals fired Kliff Kingsbury as head coach back in January. He has since gotten a job on USC’s coaching staff with Lincoln Riley.
He will be honored by his alma mater, Texas Tech University.
According to The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, Kingsbury, along with coaching legend Mike Leach, will be inducted into Texas Tech’s Hall of Fame.
Kingsbury was a legend for Texas Tech as a quarterback. He passed for 45 touchdowns and more than 5,000 yards in 2002.
He went on to be head coach of Texas Tech later on before he became head coach of the Arizona Cardinals in 2019.
The ceremony will be in September.
Leach is the winningest coach in Texas Tech history. He was the head coach when Kingsbury played there.
