Football Scoop USC: USC has denied the Arizona Cardinals and New York Jets permission to interview Kliff Kingsbury for their head coaching positions, tweets Adam Schefter.

That's not going to make hiring top coaches any easier at USC.

This is getting interesting. from Pro Football Talk

Lynn Swann has placed Kliff Kingsbury in check. Kingsbury may soon put Swann in checkmate.

With Swann, the Athletic Director at USC, blocking Kingsbury from interviewing for head-coaching vacancies with the Jets and Cardinals, Kingsbury may simply resign his position as Trojans offensive coordinator and move on.

Per multiple sources, Kingsbury’s contract has a very low buyout. But the buyout never came up because the NFL teams, honoring the strong mandate issued at last month’s ownership meeting, contacted Swann and requested permission to interview Kingsbury. Swann said no, and that was the end of it.

But that may not be the end of it. Kingsbury, the former Texas Tech head coach, may simply pay the buyout, walk away, and see what happens with any NFL head-coaching or offensive coordinator opportunities.

Kingsbury will undoubtedly find work at least as an offensive coordinator, given the demand for quality offensive minds (which will become more pronounced as NFL head-coaching jobs are filled with offensive coaches) and the extent to which NFL teams are embracing college offensive concepts.

However it plays out, many are surprised by Swann’s decision. He’s believed to be the first college A.D. to ever block a coach from interviewing for an NFL head-coaching job, and he may end up having plenty of explaining to do to media, boosters, and fans if he loses Kingsbury. Indeed, it’s possible that the Jets and Cardinals may have hired someone other than Kingsbury, which would have resulted in Kingsbury staying at USC.

Now, Kingsbury may be gone not long after he arrived.

Kingsbury could be headed to the Patriots as McDaniels' potential OC replacement.

And then next year the Pats trade up to NO.12 in the draft and select Oregon QB Justin Herbert

And wait 5-6 years under Brady? Pshhh. No way.

For the right money, waiting under Brady wouldn't exactly be a fool's errand.

At Tom's age, he could literally be one bad hit from retirement.

A few years ago many viewed Lubick as an up-and-comer who was on the track to become a HC. I kinda wonder if him getting fired by Oregon and then hopping from Ole Miss, Baylor, and UW in the span of a few months finally took its toll on him.

Would you rather wait a few years behind Tom Brady or be the next great Oregon QB to waste away at a s*** organization that refuses to protect you like Marcus is and Joey did?

That was sort of my point, as well. Wasting away behind Brady = NOT getting multiple concussions, joint injuries, and assorted contusions while developing under a quality coaching staff.

Guys guys, it was a joke. Tom Brady is obviously old for the NFL.

Really interesting. From a competition standpoint, happy to hear he's leaving uw. Great WR coach.

Some UW fans are rejoicing.

I know I shouldn't laugh at other's problems but I can't help myself.
Edit. Now the USC spin in they agreed to let him interview.

What on earth did USC have to gain by blocking NFL interviews? Such a boneheaded move.
