PEr Heartland Sports and a number of other sources: "Lincoln Riley is the new head coach at USC, but it didn’t happen overnight, as the courtship between Riley’s representatives and USC reportedly lasted for three months.". It came together quickly following the Bedlam game, but was ongoing for monts, with b/ohn having two other backup plans. Riley was Bohn's target from the beginning. "Lincoln Riley is the new head coach at USC, but it didn’t happen overnight, as the courtship between Riley’s representatives and USC reportedly lasted for three months."
It has been published tha tbohn interviewed Riley the week of their Baylor game.

@crunch - this version is much more likely than the last minute hail mary that some are presenting. Sounds like riley was trying to save face. It's too big of a deal imho to just happen in one day.
I get the jilted part; the funnier part is how they don't see how much similarity there is between how Bohn came in like Ninja and how they left for the SEC. The SEC is threatening constantly to ruin everything cool about CFB. Fuck OU and TX.
Don’t let the okies know that, they are in full meltdown. Comedy gold over there. One of them suggested Riley be arrested for stealing assistants. surely it must be illegal To quit a job for a better paying job in a better location. Yes, they are that dumb and jilted.
