25 at USC. That includes 2 wins over Zona and one vs OreSt when they were unranked. His "signature" win is probably ND last year. This alone should get him fired.
I don't hate anyone. I just didn't trust the pervert AD that only won a single skiing champion in 25 years and also COMPLETELY RUINED Colorado football for 2 decades.
By comparing Riley to St Pete the truth really comes out. They couldnt be more different.
Truth is Pete built up his trenches immediately. Riley has not had that same approach.
Pete was a great defensive mind. Riley has no clue.
Pete found an advatange and used it over and over. BMW emergence comes to mind. Whats Rileys go to Offensive move? Watch CW in shotgun formation run around like a chicken with his head cut off?
Pete believed in running the rock which all winning coaches do.
Riley has really dissapointed me this year on that.
Pete made adjustments. He moved the the USA DPOY (Cody) from DE to DT in 4 games?
Pete's QB won a Heisman year 2, Riley's QB won one Year 1. This is about as close As these two get. Polar opposites as coaches.
You bring up a good point about the running game. I think Lloyd is #2 in the nation with something like 7.2 ypc, which is pretty insane. WTF? Why doesn't USC run the ball more?
Sometimes I wonder if Riley calls so many pass plays because he wants to justify having a Heisman Trophy- winning QB. Is that a possibility? Is it perhaps because he thinks if his offense isn't about "big" plays then he's losing his identity?
It can't be because he wants to make Williams happy...can it? I mean, what's the guy gonna do? Transfer? LOL...
If I coached a team with a defense like USC's, I'd want to keep my offense on the field as long as possible; I'd pound the rock, because you know the passing game is already there.
He's got a $100 million contract . USC doesn't east $77 million. USC picks up nickels off the floor.
He's not going anywhere. Get used to it. Then again you've hated him frkm day 1 so no surprise there
Some good points on both sides here.

There's a very real possibility SC goes 9-4, after going 11-3.
In today's new math, that's 20 wins in two seasons....after following 4-8 and a decade of shit. Oh, and throw in a Heisman trophy.
Most of us knew this complete rebuild would take more than 5 mins.
Riley is young, this is his first rebuild, HIS first team.....there were bound to be mistakes along the way.
But folks like you and a couple others want him fired? SC would never get another good coach if they fired a guy who avg'd 10 wins.
