Kliff Kingsbury was close to joining Rams, calls USC football “right spot at right time”

How close was USC football to missing out on hiring new Kliff Kingsbury in favor of a position with the Los Angeles Rams?

“Close,” Kingsbury said during an interview on the Dan Patrick Show on Monday morning, talking his NFL prospects, the USC job and more.

Kingsbury said he has great respect for Rams’ coach Sean McVay and he would have loved to see how he does things on a daily basis. McVay had reportedly offered the former head coach a position as an offensive analyst, but in the end, Kinsgbury made the decision to stay in college and join the Trojans.
