LOS ANGELES — His first stint at USC lasted all of 34 days, a monthlong layover as offensive coordinator on his way to Arizona and the NFL. There was barely time for Kliff Kingsbury to unpack his bags at Heritage Hall in January 2019 before the Cardinals came calling, handing him an offer he couldn't refuse.
Four years after he left, Kingsbury has made his way back to L.A.
This time, he won't call plays. He won't even be a full-time member of USC's coaching staff. Kingsbury is expected to join Lincoln Riley's staff as a senior offensive analyst, working with the Trojans quarterbacks in a support role.
