In a significant development for college football, USC Trojans head coach Lincoln Riley is leaving the team. This announcement came as a surprise to many in the sports community, considering Riley’s influential role in revitalizing the Trojans’ program during his tenure. Riley, who joined USC from Oklahoma, has been pivotal in recruiting top talent and implementing a dynamic offense that rejuvenated the Trojans’ performance on the field.
USC has already moved swiftly to address this departure by hiring Matt Entz, the current head coach of North Dakota State. Entz, known for his defensive acumen, led the Bison to multiple national championships in the FCS. His appointment is expected to bring a strong defensive strategy to USC, complementing the offensive foundation laid by Riley .
The Trojans are gearing up for a challenging 2024 season, facing teams like LSU and Michigan, and will now do so under new leadership. This transition marks a new chapter for USC, as the program continues to strive for excellence in college football.
