Just when I thought Kliff Kingsbury had gone through the fires of being known solely for his looks and emerged from the other side a more stoic and reliable football coach, a porn star tweets about him.

Kliff Kingsbury has battled the stigma of the 'young Hollywood flash and no substance head coach' since he came to Lubbock. Thanks in large part to interviews he had with Dan Le Batard where he played along to being Ryan Gosling, said he hoped he had more experience than Johnny Manziel and was asked if anyone told him to turn down his sexy.

These interviews were the norm for Kingsbury's first year at Texas Tech. There were t-shirts bragging: "Our coach is hotter than your coach." Then, his team went 8-5 and won a bowl game and it blew up. He did the stanky leg in a dance-off. He challenged Beyonce to the ALS ice bucket challenge. He went to the Kentucky Derby with Tom Brady.

And then the Red Raiders went 4-8.

He reigned it all in. His personality. His charisma. He stopped playing along to the dumb questions. He turned down the sexy. His team went 7-6 and was greatly improved.

This year we saw an offseason with a rejuvenated Kliff Kingsbury. He even trolled Charlie Strong during spring practice. He didn't have any stories during Big 12 media days that weren't about football. He talked about Patrick Mahomes, mostly. He had successfully turned into a football coach and not a model moonlighting as a football coach.

In comes Mia Khalifa -- wildly popular porn star, UTEP graduate, current Austinite and huge Florida State fan. She tweeted at Kingsbury: "Damn. Kliff Kingsbury could get this work."

Apparently, Kliff Kingsbury just can't turn down the sexy far enough.

I'm not entirely sure what, "Damn. Kliff Kingsbury could get this work" even means. It's provocative though, and just what Kliff Kingsbury needs.

Kingsbury needs to find the happy medium between jack wagon Dan Le Betard interviews and being hit on by porn stars on Twitter. In a day where viral recognition seemingly adds credibility in recruiting, Kingsbury needs more of this.

I'm not saying he needs to date a porn star or get into her line of work. Though there is a wealth of names that could be taken from Kliff Kingsbury that would make all-time great porn star names. What I'm saying is Kliff needs to find a happy medium between stoic and sexy. Kingsbury needs to be...stexy.

Fans certainly had fun with the tweet.

And one fan just wanted to let Mia how great Lubbock is.

Fair warning: If Kliff does decide to slide into her DMs, Mia Khalifa is pretty savage to unwanted DMs. Though Kingsbury's DM is definitely not unwanted.
