So Kingsbury goes from fired at a middling P5 job to being an NFL head coach?

Not bad
Crazy. 
Never seen anyone fail upward quite like Kilff K.

Colleges hire failed NFL coaches all the time, seems only fair it goes the other way sometimes

The Cardinals are probably hoping that Kliff can be the McVey to Rosen’s Goff.

I think that's the exact blueprint

He was just OK at Texas Tech.  I would have thought that he would have at least had a couple of years as an OC first.

Yep. I find this surprising. Make him an OC or QB coach. Guess we’ll see.

If he can get some competent defensive coaching talent, I could see it working.

Tennessee poaches OC Jim Chaney away from Georgia.

Dave Warner remains MSUs OC

Not sure how good a hire that is for Tennessee. 
If Kirby Smart plays his cards right he can make a massive upgrade at that spot.

Disagree, I think he's perfect for a team with a talent advantage.  Like we were discussing in the thread about how maybe having Tua wasn't best for Alabama, because they went away from how they are built, Chaney can stay within the framework that works, but has more wrinkles.  HobesHon, Harbaugh should hire him, I think he'd do great in Ann Arbor.

His career trajectory is the exact opposite of falling up.

Started in the NFL, then worked his way down to a G5. 

Had his career instead unfolded in reverse, then he would have been continuously falling up.

NY Jets are hiring Adam Gase to be their next head coach. 

Pretty solid hire imo. Not completely sold on Darnold yet, but he’s a HELL of a lot better piece to work with than Ryan Tannehill’s trash ass and I believe the Jets have a crap load of cap space to go sign some free agents.

Former Husker quarterback Zac Taylor is reportedly the Cincinnati Bengals’ choice as the team’s next head coach.
