22. Kliff Kingsbury
Making a gingerbread house with the help of coach Ryan Gosling would be incredibly fun. Wait, that’s not Ryan Gosling? Oh, that’s Texas Tech’s head football coach. In that case, grab a cold one and get ready to build a gingerbread house with Kliff “Swagger” Kingsbury — if you’re old enough, of course. I’m talking to you, Kliff.
The 38-year-old coach is one of the most charismatic figures in football today. If I had to guess, the gingerbread house wouldn’t have gingerbread men to occupy it by the time you and Kingsbury were done assembling the house. To be completely honest, Kingsbury seems like the kind of guy to bite the heads off of all the gingerbread men. C’mon, we all know somebody who does that.
Erecting a gingerbread house under the instruction of Kingsbury would be like working with one of your best friends, with them being the manager. You can get away with whatever, have fun doing it and it really doesn’t seem like work. Although he is a well-respected and smart-minded coach, Kingsbury is just one of the guys at the end of the day.
Unfortunately for us (luckily for him), he’ll be returning to coach Texas Tech after being on the hot-seat. Therefore, it’s unlikely he’ll find time during the holiday season to coach you up on how to build a gingerbread house. Instead, he’s occupied with the task of getting his Red Raiders ready for a bowl game. We all have dreams though, don’t we? Maybe Gosling can fill in for Kingsbury this year.
