There are various ways in which a football program tries to shape its roster, especially in the day and age of NIL (name, image, likeness) and the transfer portal. And for a program like USC, they aren’t living up to their standard, and head coach Lincoln Riley’s plotting how to get over the hump.
During Riley’s first two years at USC, the team has gone 11-3 and 8-5, far from what USC fans are hoping for. Riley was brought in to restore greatness to a program that has won 11 national championships and is yearning for another.
Per The Athletic, Riley talked about building his staff and what he wants USC to become.
