There are so many dimensions to the hire of Kliff Kingsbury by Lincoln Riley as an offensive analyst and quarterback consultant for USC. There’s a lot to unpack here. Trust us when we say that we’re going to dive into the various angles and nuances of this move. It’s a lot more than simply giving Caleb Williams an expert quarterback tutor, though that’s obviously a big part of all this.
Kliff Kingsbury carries a very particular history as a football coach and as a quarterback teacher, but the specific players Kingsbury coached at Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and with the Arizona Cardinals are central to why Lincoln Riley would hire Kliff and bring him into the USC program.
Caleb Williams and Malachi Nelson obviously want to gain knowledge from Kingsbury, but that knowledge is connected to how Kingsbury coached Johnny Manziel and — more centrally — Patrick Mahomes and Kyler Murray.
Again: There’s a lot to process here.
We joined Mark Rogers at The Voice of College Football to talk about all of this.
