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 that USC has agreed to a deal in principle with former Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury to lead the Trojans’ underachieving offense. A USC spokesman said that there was no announcement about the coaching staff.
Kingsbury, 39, went 35-40 in six seasons as head coach at his alma mater. His offenses were consistently prolific running Kingsbury’s take on the “Air Raid” system he learned as a player from then-Texas Tech coach Mike Leach.
