Last week I ran a photo of dapper-looking USC assistant Bill Fisk from 1954. I said I would show other sartorially resplendent USC assistant coaches. Here is assistant coach Joseph Muha from 1951. Check out the geometric-patterned tie! Muha was an assistant at USC under Jess Hill from 1951-52. He played five seasons for the Phildelphia Eagles (1946-50).

I got a kick out of the part where Riley said speaking to Caleb Williams after he entered the transfer portal was like talking to a “long, … Continue reading Lincoln Riley Press Conference Reaction
