This human wind sock has arrogantly defended Lincoln Riley for years. But now suddenly the problems have been happening "over and over" and it might be time for a change
"Soft doesn't travel... It's the same issues over, and over, and over again. It looks so much harder than it needs to be." @colincowherd thinks it might be time for USC to move on from Lincoln Riley

The damage Riley has caused is not limited to the football field
USC has the among worst media operations in the country, and they do it on purpose, and it does not serve them well.

This photo is telling. A timeout. Defense huddled up before a key play. And the head coach (left) 15 yards away and facing the opposite direction

This guy's head isn't buried in a play sheet during the game
Jason Eck was mad his player got in the NDSU QB's face on the interception and almost cost them a penalty

Again. There is a reason John McKay didn't do this. Because he knew you don't win anything in October.

Update?
"Where I sit on Lincoln Riley is: He shouldn't be on the hot seat. You shouldn't fire him. They're winning games & the team has his back. That's not a coach that you fire." @colincowherd & @RGIII talk USC & UCLA football

Running the ball. Defense. That's the foundation for winning. When has that ever been the top two priorities for Lincoln Riley?

Let's also remember it was USC that put out those billboards that said "The Time Is Now" OK, so you fire the coach now, right?

It's hard for me to keep stating things I've said for years but you cannot have an anti-social, stubborn, arrogant jerk who cannot focus on anything but his play sheet and doesn't respect complementary football as coach and expect things to change

A loss is a loss. But it takes a special kind of coach to lose by 17 points to a team that passed for 58 yards.

The No. 1 recruiting class. The new football building. A Heisman candidate QB. A new, improved defense. Anything else?

Do people realize tonight's game was not even a sellout? But, but the White Out . . .

This is why you don't celebrate the Penn State victory like you won the national title. You didn't even win the next game and got manhandled!
