Amid reports of Kliff Kingsbury hire, USC says there's no announcement to be made about the coaching staff

It appears USC coach Clay Helton's plan to improve his program includes bringing on one of the best offensive minds in college football as his offensive coordinator.

Multiple reports Thursday said USC has agreed to a deal in principle with former Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury to lead the Trojans’ underachieving offense. On Tuesday, after a weekend of quiet on the USC front and speculation that Kingsbury was reviewing NFL options as well, more reports surfaced saying his move to USC was now a done deal.

Kingsbury, 39, went 35-40 in six seasons as head coach at his alma mater.
