Lincoln Riley’s arrival at USC two years ago was something out of a Hollywood movie. The former Oklahoma coach touched down in California via a private jet, and Trojan fans were ecstatic. Finally, they got their guy.
Now, sitting at a disappointing 7–5 on the year, Riley has been met with a significant amount of criticism and on Sunday, ESPN’s Paul Finebaum completely obliterated the coach for falling so short of expectations.
“I don’t know that I’ve seen a worse coaching job by anyone than Lincoln Riley this year,” Finebaum said Sunday on The Matt Barrie Show. “It’s a complete disaster, and quite frankly, he outta pack up. I don’t really see what his path is moving forward.”
