I guess Lincoln Riley wasn’t lying when he said he wouldn’t be the next coach at LSU! He promised he wouldn’t coach the Tigers, but I didn’t hear him say anything about the Trojans!
While everyone else was out here, Riley’s PR team and agent were playing 4D chess behind the scenes.
“I’m not going to be the next head coach at LSU. Next question.”

This is absolutely a home run hire for the Trojans. This is the best news that has hit Pasadena in a very long time.
For the first time in a very long time, it feels like USC’s football program might actually be trending up.
