Former Arizona Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury recently made headlines following his interest in the Philadelphia Eagles’ vacant role. After one season with the USC Trojans as the senior offensive analyst, the 44-year-old may be taking another leap into the NFL.

Kingsbury has previously interviewed with the Chicago Bears for the OC role but he didn’t get the position. Instead, it was former Seattle Seahawks OC Shane Waldron who got the opportunity to coach the Bears’ offense. As of now, reports await as Kingsbury remains available for the OC role until he makes his decision.

Let’s delve into his win-loss records from his time as the Texas Tech HC to his most recent position as senior offensive analyst at USC Trojans. Kliff Kingsbury served as the Texas Tech HC from 2013 to 2018 where he posted a record of 35-40. From 2019 to 2022, he joined the Cardinals as the HC recording 28-37-1 before being fired.

The dismal performance followed him to college football in 2023 at USC where the Trojans’ record fell from 11-3 in 2022 to 8-5 in 2023. If he gets the Eagles’ OC role, he’ll be tasked with reviving the team’s offense that culminated in an 11-6 record in the 2023 season.

Do you think Kingsbury would be able to turn the Eagles around and bring them back on track after this season’s heartbreak? Let us know your thoughts.
