I’ve really had it with Lincoln Riley.
I know he can’t coach defense, cornerbacks, the offensive line or special teams. He can’t have a physical team. He’s terrible on 2-point plays.
But now I have to watch him berate game officials constantly. And after tonight’s loss, he didn’t make a single player available to the media. That’s a baby move.
This guy is so minor league but he is shrouded in a myth of excellence that has been crafted among the media. Well, maybe not so much anymore. You know he is 1-3 in bowl games?
USC is WORSE than last season. Think of all the times Riley has said USC is way better in Year 2. USC was on cusp of the College Football Playoff going into the Pac-12 title game last season. They aren’t even close to that right now.
I said I picked Utah to win because I was tired of watching nonsense. And that’s what I watched tonight. A Utah team with a backup QB amassed 482 yards. The QB had three TD passes. Caleb Williams had zero TD passes.
You know what else is nonsense? How much did Bear Alexander cost USC? His two 15-yard penalties were huge and allowed the Utes to kick a closer field goal at the end.
USC needs a strong athletic director to order Riley to make staff changes. Riley doesn’t like to be told what to do. So how it get resolved?
Clay Helton did more with Sam Darnold than CLR will do with Williams. Let that sink in.

I’m confident that Whittingham teaches his QB to throw his arms up in the air and fling himself backward as if he just got hit by a freight train every time a D-Line just brushes up against him.

Any coach that they hire(even if Vince Lombardi rose from the dead) will have trouble recruiting at SC because SC won’t pay big money for recruits right out of high school. I can understand SC’s position. That kid hasn’t proven himself. You could pay big bucks for a kid like Korey Foreman who turns out to be a bust.
But if you don’t pay the money you won’t get the great players. The 5 stars will go with the money. You can have a 5 star who grew up a block from USC and USC was his dream team. But when it comes time to picking a college, he’s going to go with the money.
I can’t blame him. If he waits thinking that he’ll get the money by his sophomore or junior year, he could have a major injury that ends his career before he gets the money. This isn’t badmitton. This is football.
The NCAA has to do something about this or else the schools who pay big will win big.

N.I.L. is playing a role in all of this, but it is only a small one at best. When was the last time that U.S.C. put a premium recruiting offensive and defensive lineman? Sua Cravens said it best last night in the post game show when he stated that his freshman class was ranked as one of the best recruiting classes in the history of U.S.C. football, but there were only a few quality lineman in that class.
Another factor in this is when was the last time U.S.C. had an offensive/defensive lineman drafted in the first round? The lack of player development at U.S.C. is below average at best, and that is the primary reason they cannot attract the top tier offensive/defensive lineman.

Someone said USC doesn’t pay top dollar to HS recruits. Well players themselves talk about USC paying top dollar for recruits well before NIL (not that I have an issue with it). And the various NIL schemes set up at USC aren’t limited to transfers and are among if not the best in the country. Top HS players know ‘SC dominates the top CFB media market and has the premier brand when winning.
Everyone is using the portal (and those who avoid it like Dabo at Clemson are paying the price for not). The best players in college including a certain Heisman winner last year came through the portal, and Riley had the benefit of using recruits from two premier programs and bringing them together, including the core of an offense that were already under his tutelage, so there’s that too.
Kids are just around for 4 years, and they are playing their hearts out for their future, their teammates, coaches, etc. Every kid had a high school, a lot had a JC… We see FSU, UGA, tOSU, and all the top teams use the portal handily.
Riley himself talked about how he had brought in the best talent (as if USC didn’t already pile on talent before him- and lest we forget in the last full year of Hugz he had a one loss team (the loss by a dropped pass), and a top 5 class. And even Clueless Hugz beat Utah and got a Rose Bowl win, etc. So it anything the culture is worse.

Riley needs to take accountability. Say that he thought he had built a stronger program, but that the coaches and staff are failing the kids and he will fix it. Because this is 100% a problem with coaching.
Riley needs to be told by the new AD that he is an ineffective head coach and if he wants the job as OC of USC, then he can apply for that job. Otherwise, he needs to be a real head coach and delegate and hold people responsible.
The only responsible thing to do at this point is to fire Alex Grinch immediately and try to have someone else improve things. That will also allow Riley to openly look for a new DC. Unless Riley is planning to leave LA because the job is too tough. Maybe he should just leave. He really doesnt seem to have the stomach for this job.

“Accept the things you cannot change,”
Since no fans are part of the SC football inner circle
as either a player or a coach
their words are simply “blowin’ in the wind”

Then why did Lincoln Riley blame the fans for expectations affecting the team?

Good point. The old saw “Words cannot hurt me,” is not completely true
So yes the high-pitched SC criticism got to some of these kids-
Especially the defense, how many times do they need to hear “Stupid!”

Does Riley have the chops to change his mindset, be transformative to compete going forward? The top level coaches can and have. Of course there needs to be an assistant coach overhaul. But Riley’s 7 on 7 approach, including his recruiting focus, has been his only coaching exposure and experience. Even crusty Saban confronted himself and knew he needed a more dynamic offense. There’s needs to be more of a assistant head coach position. Someone who can come in and focus on the physical part. Recruit the physical part. Too bad Ogeron screwed up at the end of his LSU stint.

The problem with LR is he wants to win but he only wants to win his way. That is trying to be smarter than everyone else with creative passing. He refuses to run the football and take whatever advantage he may have in a particular game. His passing game has been garbage. The offense is now on par with its bad defense. A complete philosophical debacle.

Wiley called the game “an epoch comeback”
It did look bleak for ol’ SC down 14-28 late in the game
THEN, as if the contest were struck by a sudden lightening bolt
There is an interception for a touchdown and then a Branch switching his way toward the go-ahead touchdown.
Too bad it didn’t end at that point

Wiley talked about “the fight” his team had with a physical Utah squad-
Like all college football teams SC is a ‘work in progress’
But if the team gives it the “old college try” each and every game
that should be good enough for fans (but of course it isn’t!)

Gabby:
You have offended my wife, my mother and my father. All sexual inferences. I let the first two go because they are both deceased but not my wife. You are the one who offended my family, not visa versa. I have never brought your wife or parents into anything. It is therefore my call – boxing gym in Pasadena CA, Mr. tough guy. Give me a date and I will make the arrangements. Stop being a chickensh*t.
And nobody believes you are friends with Dana White. If you ever read the news, he is a staunch conservative who left the country during Covid so that the Dems. couldn’t shut down UFC. He wouldn’t allow a pussy leftist like yourself anywhere near his octagon. Rummaging the dumpster outside of the premises for plastic bottles redeemable for 20 cents doesn’t mean you know Dana White you leftist, racist, pussy.
Give me available dates.
