Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Kliff Kingsbury is headed to the University of Southern California football program to serve as the Trojans' offensive coordinator.
Sources informed The Athletic and ESPN of the hire Tuesday. Kingsbury will replace Tee Martin, who was fired last week by head coach Clay Helton.
Kingsbury, 39, was fired as the head coach of Texas Tech in November. He posted a 35-40 record in his six seasons with the Red Raiders, including a 1-2 record in bowl games.
Sources told ESPN that Kingsbury was being pursued by multiple NFL franchises before accepting the USC job.
Kingsbury's Red Raiders were the No. 1 offense in the country in 2016, Patrick Mahomes' final college season. Texas Tech was a top three offense in the Big 12 in Kingsbury's first five seasons.
Kingsbury was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Texas A&M before joining the Red Raiders. He helped Johnny Manziel win the Heisman Trophy during that tenure. He also coached Case Keenum at the University of Houston.
