Embarrassing effort from USC tonight. They’re 6-2, but snuck out wins against Rutgers and Washington. Remaining schedule is

Ohio State
@ Indiana
Maryland
@ UCLA

He’s on his way to another 7 or 8 win season and never even threatening real success.

He can probably sneak in a 24 team playoff though

They’re stuck with him.

He won a lot of games at OU but there were so many he was winning like 52-49 that could’ve gone either way.

His historic results would indicate he can’t even do that

A Riley offense and Venables defense I think could actually work pretty well. A lot of egos would have to be set aside for it to actually come to fruition

7 points for USC today are the fewest points any FBS team he has coached has scored in a game & the fewest points USC scored vs an unranked opponent since 2013 vs Washington State.

The 2026 USC team would not make a 24-team playoff

I think this is the end. He’ll be gone after the season. He has a mitigation clause in the contract that should bring the buyout number down.

Let Chesney name his number and give him Lincoln’s estate in PV

UCLA has a real AD now. Chesney isn’t going anywhere.

If they do fire Riley, they better hire someone who can construct an elite defense and can run the ball.

Thats what USC was known for under Carroll....they were RB U

Last year's USC team was better than this team. This team lacks any big play ability in the run game.
