The University of Southern California must love former Texas Tech quarterbacks.
USC hired former Red Raiders quarterback and North Texas offensive coordinator Graham Harrell for the same position, first reported by The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman late Monday night. The position became open after Kliff Kingsbury left USC to become the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.
Kingsbury was fired as the head coach at Texas Tech after the season, then in a 43-day span, agreed to become USC’s offensive coordinator before darting to the NFL.
Kingsbury and Harrell both played quarterback at Texas Tech under Mike Leach in his Air-Raid system.
