As a follow-up, I caught a bit of a local sports talk radio show yesterday. One host pointed out that Lincoln Riley is only thirty-eight years old and has many years ahead of him, and he then said this would work out one of two ways for USC:
-
Riley takes USC back to its rightful place at the top of the college football world and keeps it there for many years while staying at USC until he retires.
-
Riley takes USC back to its rightful place and is so successful that the NFL comes calling and lures him away.
