Lincoln Riley: Initially insulted by Mike Leach’s life-changing decision

USC football head coach Lincoln Riley remembers the conversation with Mike Leach that convinced him to retire from playing football and opened up his first coaching opportunity at Texas Tech. The decision was first met with anger from Riley, but he says the responsibilities given to him by Leach were what helped him prepare to ultimately become a head coach. Later, Riley recalls the moment he was offered a position as offensive coordinator at the University of Oklahoma thanks to a rejection from Kentucky that led to a phone call to Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops.
