Is Lincoln Riley the only coach in the nation that requires two general managers?

USC is going to retain Dave Emerick as Senior Associate Athletic Director for Football/General Manager and also hire a “wartime consigliere” general manager.

I’ve gotten contacted by several people on campus who are noting USC is paying two people for one position while also instituting university-wide cutbacks.

When Sir Lincoln of Riley was hired, it was assumed he was enough of a genius to handle the decision-making within the program or at least not require two general managers.

• The USC campus is largely unimpacted from the fires and open. However, the New Student Convocation will not be held on Friday.
