Update:
Ian Rapoport reports that a team official has confirmed that Kliff Kingsbury employed at USC, which means the school has likely granted him permission to interview with NFL teams.
Jay Glazer of FOX Sports is hearing that Kliff Kingsbury is likely to interview with NFL teams, which implies he’s resigned as USC offensive coordinator.
USC had been blocking Kingsbury from interviewing with NFL teams for head-coaching vacancies.
The Jets and Cardinals are both reportedly interested in Kingsbury.
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk previously reported that there’s a chance Kingsbury may resign as offensive coordinator at USC after athletic director Lynn Swann blocked him from interviewing for the Cardinals and Jets’ head-coaching jobs.
According to Florio, Kingsbury’s contract has a very low buyout.
Kingsbury, 35, was hired as the Texas Tech head coach back in 2013 and spent six years in the position before he was fired back in November. USC later hired him as their offensive coordinator.
During his six seasons at Texas Tech, Kingsbury led them to a record of 35-40 (46.7 percent), which includes three Bowl game appearances.
