Coach using Gosling-like looks on recruits’ moms

Who needs decades of experience when you look like Ryan Gosling?

Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury, who bears a striking resemblance to the famous actor, was asked on the Dan Le Batard show if a single mother ever flirted with him while he was on a recruiting trip.

“Yeah, yeah, that’s kind of — you’ve got to play to your strengths,” said Kingsbury, who at age 34 was the third-youngest head coach in the FBS last season, when he led the Red Raiders to an 8-5 record.

“So I kind of encourage that a little bit. It’s part of the deal, man.”

He also downplayed his physical comparison to Gosling, cracking, “It could be worse, for sure.”

If Kingsbury wants to follow his doppelganger into acting, he already has a supporter — Texans quarterback Case Keenum, who tweeted last month that Kingsbury should be on the next season of “The Bachelor.”
