Supposedly, Texas Tech's football coach Kliff Kingsbury bears resemblance to the actor Ryan Gosling, a bizarro-ness that sometimes help him curry the favor of recruits' single moms, according to the Bleacher Report. Personally, I don't see it, but that might be because I've been frustrated with the slow-footed cornerback from "Remember the Titans" ever since I saw one of his most recent movies, "The Place Beyond the Pines," and am thus more finely attuned to his physical features.

The 35 year-old Gosling (Kingsbury is 34) makes a lot of movies like "Pines" that are good but not great (other examples closer to great: "The Ides of March," "Crazy, Stupid Love"). Strangely, they're usually "good but not great" because of him. In a way, he reminds me of Kentucky forward Julius Randle and how inconsistently he played in Monday night's NCAA final. You know Gosling has potential because he's already realized it in critical hits "Half Nelson" and "Fracture" (highly underrated). Lately, however, he's been in a career lull. He's actually starting to remind me of Mathew McConaughey before he became an Oscar-winning and soon-to-be Emmy-winning actor (for his work in "True Detective"). Maybe Gosling should try to get a last minute role in the sequel to "Magic Mike" (some credit the original for sparking McConaughey's newfound weirdness/acting ability). Exposure like that would also likely help the Texas Tech football coach and his rapport with single mothers.

"Yeah," Kingsbury said on the Dan Le Batard Show when asked if (single) moms ever flirt with him. "You've got to play to your strengths. So I kind of encourage that a little bit. It's part of the deal."

At least he's honest. Most sports fans are still waiting to hear how Kentucky coach John Calipari woos his five-star recruits every year.

The 34 year-old Kingsbury is entering his second year as the Red Raiders' head coach. If his name sounds familiar, you're probably remembering the 1998-2002 seasons, when he was the team's quarterback. Even more than most Tech signal callers, Kingsbury posted unreal numbers within the school's open scheme. He threw for over 12,000 yards in his career, despite only contributing 437 in his freshman year. His senior year he threw for over 5,000 yards and also had 45 TDs. He was drafted in the sixth round of the NFL draft, but only threw two career passes.
