He wants Will Farrell on his sideline.

Well, I guess that's better than Jim Carrey.

STFU

But that's to be expected from USC. They've been slimy for decades.

F them! I just hope he doesn't bring all those 5* kids from Socal with him.

UCLA has started to be the dominant team in Socal, and Riley is being brought in to stop that. He will start locking down not only southern california, but probably most of the state.

Chip Kelly has been having some modest success at UCLA. They just beat USC on the field again this year.

Riley will change that too.

USC can get ready for a lot of offense.. but defense will be an afterthought.

When was the last time that anyone actually paid attention to either USC or UCLA? or anybody, besides Oregon (and occasionally Washington) in the Pac12? it looks like that whole Conference has slid into the ocean.

The curse of Petey took hold when he bolted the the Salt Birds.

[WM Wolverine]

Huge for USC, Pac 12 was becoming a joke without USC being good. Only 2 ranked teams at last check.

Riley is a great recruiter. He'll be able to keep a lot of that SoCal talent at USC. He is also a premier QB Whisperer. He will be able to get great QB recruits every year. If he can get a solid DC they will be scary good.

[iam416]

Yeah, USC is going to be pretty good. Not next year. Or the year after. But by 2024.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Rod Carey fired at Temple after going 12-20 in 3 years.

The guy he replaced at Temple, Geoff Collins, is 9-25 at Georgia Tech and somehow survives to coach another day. GT was outscored 100-0 in their final two games against ND and Georgia.

[Cody_Russell]

G-Tech deserves that after parting ways with Paul Johnson!


Riley needs to nail the DC hire. Pete Carroll's USC teams were great on both offense and defense. Elite on defense a few times in the later years.
That's held back Riley at Oklahoma. Elite offenses. Terrible to mediocre defenses.

Will Muschamp? Marcus Freeman? ... is Jim Knowles great now? Pay attention to USC's DC hire news....

He's already brought Alex Grinch along from OU.

From this article:

There was something just a little bit different from the get-go. Michigan fans are known for their wind-battered panic mode, their instant turtling at the onset of sports traumas after enduring such a disproportionate load of them in the past. Life has taught Wolverines to flinch at the first sign of football trouble, lament what has not even gone wrong yet, and bury their emotions in a basketball program they somewhat care about, because those losses hurt less.

Sounds about right.

Ah, thx!

I guess that's ... ok? Meh.
