    perceived offensive innovators are getting head coaching offers (McVeigh, Nagy)

    Kingsbury might not settle for an OC job

    It's crazy to me how HOT he is right now considering his record. Having said that he did discover and work with Webb, Mahomes, Mayfield, Manziel, Keenum. Dude's history of finding and working with QBs is damn good. Not really an offensive innovator as much as a QB whisperer apparently.

    In the NFL? Yeah, he would.

    So who on here is Josue Rodriguez, just passing on information read on here as an insider....? LOL

    Kliff would kill it in LA at USC, with his pretty boy looks and charismatic attitude.

    I think most college head coaching jobs pay better than an OC job in the NFL unless you are Josh McDaniel.

    I like it! But he will go to the highest bidder.

    Oh, COLLEGE. He can definitely coach somewhere but it'd likely be a step backwards from Tech. I think his best path towards getting his career back on target would be heading to the NFL or becoming an OC for a BIG college program (not UNC).

    He's quoting Seth Payne who played for the Texans and is a host on Texans Flagship.

    OC at USC would probably pay a lot more than OC for the Texans. Kelly at UCLA and Kliff at USC would be weird.

    Think he makes you scary good. Worth the risk in a new NFL willing to innovate.

    LOL, Swann covering his azz here after all the blowback of keeping Helton.

    If Helton sucks out of the gate next year they can can him quick and he has his next HC right there at OC, brilliant but nice screw job of Helton by Swann, Swann should've just canned his azz.

    Someone educate me. How did you get fired from Texas Tech and get offers from the NFL and USC. Why did Texas Tech get rid of this guy? I'm not really familiar with the program.

    Not the right HC for Tech, but a proven OC. Coached Mahomes, Manziel (when he was good), etc...

    Discovered and/or developed Keenum, Manziel, Webb, Mahomes, Mayfield, and apparently the new kid Bowman has a chance to be really good too.

    But would make for a very high scoring game
