Lincoln Riley Addresses USC Hot Seat Rumors, Calls Himself 'Right Person' for Job Before OSU Game

The Lincoln Riley era has not gone to plan for USC.

After winning 11 games in his first season on the job in 2022, the Trojans are just 30-17 since, including two losses this season. But Riley still believes he's the right man to lead the school back to prominence despite rumors linking him to other job openings:

USC is about to face its toughest stretch of the season, hosting Ohio State on Saturday before traveling to face Indiana on Nov. 14. After a winnable game against Maryland, the Trojans will close the season against UCLA.

It's very possible that Riley's future in Los Angeles will be determined during that stretch. But for now, the head coach doesn't plan on going anywhere.
