and finished with a 35-40 record at Texas Tech.

But despite the middling record as a head coach, no one can deny Kingsbury’s resume as a quarterbacks coach. He’s worked with the likes of Patrick Mahomes and Baker Mayfield at Texas Tech, Johnny Manziel at Texas A&M and Case Keenum at Houston. In Arizona, he helped Kyler Murray earn NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors in 2019 and two Pro Bowl appearances.

Back at USC — a move first reported by NFL Network — Kingsbury will work with quarterbacks again, adding another perspective for Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams to lean on. Both Kingsbury and USC head coach Lincoln Riley are part of the Mike Leach branch of the Air Raid tree.

Kingsbury and Riley were teammates at Texas Tech for a season before Kingsbury went to the NFL draft and Riley began his coaching career for the Red Raiders.
