Lincoln Riley Says He Is 100% Staying at USC

He cites USC's $200 million facility investment as validation of his long-term plan.

Overview

  • After Tuesday's practice, Riley told reporters he is "100%" returning and said he is "right where I'm supposed to be."
  • He said he is focused on "what we're building," pointing to the new football complex scheduled to open next summer.
  • Riley has been linked by media to vacancies at Florida, LSU and Penn State, but he has publicly dismissed the speculation.
  • USC dropped from College Football Playoff contention with a 42-27 loss to Oregon and now faces UCLA before bowl selection.
  • Riley opened 11-3 at USC before 8-5 and 7-6 seasons, a run that has drawn commentary such as Paul Finebaum urging him to leave.
