It’s been two-and-a-half years since the divorce between the Texas Tech football program and Kliff Kingsbury was finalized. And one could argue that, as is the case in many breakups, both parties are in a better place now that they have gone their separate ways. But that doesn’t mean that Kingsbury’s influence won’t still hang over the upcoming season.

In fact, this fall, Kingsbury will still have quite the impact on his alma mater even though he’ll be the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals in the NFL.
