A college football coach is attracting a lot of attention, not for his win-loss record but rather for his striking resemblance to Hollywood heartthrob Ryan Gosling.
Texas Tech’s new coach Kliff Kingsbury has been the talk of Twitter since the season kicked off three weeks ago, with thousands admitting to doing a double take when seeing him for the first time.
The university has been quick to capitalize on their coach’s good looks.
They’ve released a range of T-shirts featuring his photo and the slogan “our coach is hotter than yours.”
Both Gosling and Coach Kliff are clearly handsome, talented and successful, but do the similarities stop there?
