Kliff Kingsbury is returning to USC.
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the former Arizona Cardinals head coach is set to join Lincoln Riley's staff at USC as an offensive analyst working with quarterbacks.
Kingsbury spent the previous four seasons with the Cardinals, where he had a 28-37-1 record. They only made the playoffs once, but never won, and finished 4-13 last season before he was sacked in January.
After losing his job, Kingsbury allegedly travelled to Thailand on a one-way ticket and then met with the Houston Texans for an assistant position. Before being sacked, he signed a five-year contract extension with Arizona that ran through the 2027 season.
Kingsbury was the head coach at Texas Tech for six years before joining the NFL. He finished 35-40 with a 1-2 record in bowl games. Kingsbury was dismissed by the Red Raiders, and he accepted to become USC's offensive coordinator two weeks later. That position, however, lasted just about a month before Kingsbury was hired by the Cardinals and the NFL.
While his head coaching record isn't very impressive, Kingsbury has a strong track record with quarterbacks. Kingsbury was a quarterback at Texas Tech from 1999 to 2002, throwing for over 5,000 yards and 45 touchdowns as a senior. At the collegiate and professional levels, he has coached Patrick Mahomes, Baker Mayfield, Johnny Manziel, Josh Rosen, Kyler Murray, and others.
Kingsbury will now work with USC quarterback Caleb Williams, who is a probable first-round pick. Last year, Williams earned the Heisman Trophy while guiding the Trojans to the Cotton Bowl. Last season, Williams passed for 4,537 yards and 52 touchdowns, the most in the country. The Trojans were expected to make the College Football Playoff, but they were defeated by Utah in the Pac-12 championship game. He was the first Trojan to win the Heisman award since Matt Leinart in 2004, excepting Reggie Bush, whose award was nullified in 2005.

As well as taking home the prize money, 35-year-old Weinman also got his hands on the WSOP Main Event bracelet.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
