I never thought Riley was a candidate for USC. Thought they were focused on either Aranda, Fickell, or Campbell. But I think this is huge for USC and the conference. As much as I hate USC, we need them to be great as the flag bearer for the conference. I would think Riley would be about as good of a hire as you could make given the candidates out there.
Love this move for the conference. We need USC to be in the top 15 every year for the conference image. He’s not Saban tho, so we should still have a good shot at the division every year.
OSU just beat him. Is he gonna coach in the CFP, or Bowl, now or is he gonna do the quitting immediately thing, or the co-head coach thing like Urban/Kyle?
Until Utah can bring in a legitimate coach like Urban Meyer, the Utes will be unable to win the PAC-12 and get into the Rose Bowl. Maybe if Utah replaces Kyle Whittingham with a coach like Kilani Sitaki, Utah might have a shot at the CFP and/or Rose Bowl in 2022.
