USC Trojans football coach Lincoln Riley joined former Penn State tight end Adam Breneman on the latest episode of Next Up.
Lincoln Riley gets candid about his coaching journey from his early days as a graduate assistant at Texas Tech, how he turned Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray into Heisman winners at Oklahoma and his shocking departure from OU followed by the jump to USC.
Coach Riley also reflects on his first two years building USC football, the coaching changes he made on the defensive side of the ball, Caleb Williams and more.
We noted earlier this month that “American football is going through a difficult time. Other fan bases and analysts across the country are taking note. You can imagine what Oklahoma football fans and bloggers are saying right now about Lincoln Riley and the Trojans, but they are also watching how Brent Venables and his recruiting strategy contrast with what Riley is doing in Los Angeles.”
Lincoln Riley faces the most difficult period of his coaching career. When watching the interview below, it’s worth wondering if the things Riley says seem like statements he’ll be able to follow through on, or if he’s just saying what people want to hear. (It could be both.)
