It may not ease the anger of USC football fans, but Kliff Kingsbury at least didn’t jump at the first job offer that came his way before being enticed away from the Trojans.
In fact, Kingsbury turned down quite a few opportunities during his brief time as USC’s offensive coordinator, according to his agent Erik Burkhardt, who appeared on the Comeback SZN podcast on Thursday.
“While with USC, KK turned down 7 NFL coordinator jobs and multiple lucrative college jobs including with CFP bound teams. The buyout existed if an opportunity came that he couldn’t turn down… like being an NFL head coach,” as tweeted by Kayce Smith of Barstool Sports.
