Rams Have Contacted Kliff Kingsbury
The Rams have reached out to former Kliff Kinsgbury to gauge his interest in joining Los Angeles as an offensive assistant/consultant for the remainder of the season, according to Peter Schrager of NFL.com (Twitter link). 
Kingsbury has already been generating interest from around the NFL, but it wasn’t clear if he’d attempt to latch on with a club before the 2018 campaign expired, or instead wait for next season. The Rams, admittedly, probably aren’t a long-term fit for Kingsbury. Head coach Sean McVay calls the offensive plays in Los Angeles and isn’t likely to relinquish those duties any time soon.
But Kingsbury could presumably assist in other capacities with the Rams, and he’s certainly respected around both the collegiate and pro game for his offensive ingenuity and creativity. While Los Angeles wouldn’t immediately start running Kingsbury’s Air Raid offense if he were to be hired, his presence on the team’s staff could only help the Rams over the course of the regular season and into the playoffs.
Kingsbury, 39, was fired after five-plus years of lackluster results at Texas Tech, during which he posted a 35-40 overall record. While he’s never coached in the NFL, he did play professionally with the Patriots, Jets, and Saints from 2003-05.
NFL Teams Interested In Kliff Kingsbury
Rumors are circulating about former Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury heading to USC to become their new offensive coordinator. That may still come to fruition, but no deal has been struck just yet and Kingsbury continues to consider offers from both the college ranks and the NFL, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter) hears.
Kingsbury was canned by Texas Tech on Nov. 25 after the Red Raiders finished with a 5-7 record. Kingsbury went just 35-40 in his six seasons at the helm, but NFL teams – and other college programs – remain intrigued by his offensive mind and ingenuity.
Kingsbury is unlikely to receive head coaching consideration in the NFL, particularly at this juncture of the season, but he may fit as a quarterbacks coach or offensive coordinator elsewhere. There aren’t a ton of true vacancies for those positions out there, but clubs that are high on Kingsbury may be willing to bust out some pink slips and make room.
