USC HC Lincoln Riley | Thursday Press Conference of Wisconsin Week

USC head coach Lincoln Riley spoke to the media for the final time before the Trojans take on Wisconsin in their Big Ten premiere in the Coliseum.

[@saulvillicana292]

We don't need to address it, we already know who and what the issue was, enough time, energy and money has been wasted. Turn the page and move on, he was a depth piece at best and looking forward to Jide and Carlon.

[@billburk9458]

As I listen more to Lincoln Riley - the more I like him✌️he inherited a very tuff situation - I hope he keeps up the good fight! I think he can get us there👍

[@superbad0250]

I agree with coach Riley its a internal issue with Bear history with going to 4 different High Schools leaving Georgia complaining about Nil in the spring GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!

[@Conquistador4564]

Trojans, first respect Coach Riley and address him accordingly. Second, Coach Riley's job is to focus on our TEAM, especially when we have a conference game on Saturday. Third, let's stay positive we still have an opportunity to have a SPECIAL SEASON! Fight On! Angel USC'78

[@Thankyou423.3]

Jide is an alien with the way he is built, not many including in the nfl have that little body fat and are 295. Crazy potential

[@hrpickinstuff]

Only one way to find out. Play him.

[@BigSmith5572]

This is OUR coach right here. #FTFO we ALL ride together. SC vs EVERYBODY!!! ✌🏿

[@sackofmojojr.1758]

It’s a whole new landscape we’re dealing with in college football. In Lincoln Riley I trust. Fight on!✌️👍🤙

[@hrpickinstuff]

Our local team starting QB quit over a bag? I'm not sure about the back up Williams, behind him is pretty much freshman and walk-on's

[@fischook1238]

To Coach Lincoln Riley wishing yourself and all your coaches and players to have a great game vs. Wisconsin on Saturday. We have shown we can play with any team in the country. Keep up the great work everyone. Every one of you from the coaches to the players are doing a great job. Fight On. ✌

Fight On Coach ✌🏾

[@lindaluick5699]

Let’s move on!

[@lpkap7875]

Address him as COACH, as Conner does.

[@gendaminoru3195]

maybe when he starts his $30,000 a day ass acting like a real coach we will. But this juvenile behavior and gas lighting is not what we signed up for.

[@RubenCali23]

BEAT WISCONSIN ✌️✌️✌️✌️

[@davidkeeling4419]

Alex GrInch is a non-question. There are no challenges involved. This isn't happy home week Connor.

[@seanvosq]

Class act Coach, Fight On! ✌🏽

[@TrojansFirst]

Step dad thought the coaches would cave when he threatened with the redshirt. But looks like they are ready let Bear go. Probably a big shock to Tony Jones.

Nothing amazing about Riley! Big O coach but not TOTAL COACH! A lot like Brian Kelly, can't win enuf big ones!

Now so cal has 2 OTHER "buy yr player" teams in the sleeznuts and Nike bag boys who ramped up their bag $! Plus mid level in Big is better than ever ill, ind, iowa, wisc (2nd yr coach) Moo U w ist yr coach and so on! Had 2 wks to prepare v a one demen team in M and STILL got dominated on both lines!!

[@JohnGuzman-s4q]

Do they still have to pay players NIL after what bear did or can they terminate it?

[@davidkeeling4419]

Is the LA press corp in their early 20s?

[@hrpickinstuff]

Coach Riley is a good man. Do you know how hard it was to leave the farm in Norman for the beach side Mansion in Los Angeles? Whatever you say coach, I'm with you. Win or lose. I'm watching either way. Wisconsin is not an easy out. Luke Fickell is one of my favorite coaches: He can be sneeky good. Plus Jack Del Rio and Mike Tressel are in the mix. I'm hoping Grinch neutralizes their advantage. Like putting too much salt in the stew. Sorry coach. I HAD TO.

[@MKEBUCK]

naw everyone can’t deflect when it comes to Bear. Should’ve got answers from Riley in this interview..

[@hrpickinstuff]

Post game when Riley sees Grinch: Do they: 1. Hand shake? 2. Bro hug? 3. Take a selfie? What say you?

[@bhscheer114]

What a cop out to not answer any questions about Bear. Especially after he accuses the press the other day about making something out of nothing. Man up!

[@youthxx47]

Shut up dude, the team is sacred

[@WAHollier54]

Bro, what are you talking about? You got a guy who quit, I’d be pissed off if my head coach spent time in the media talking about a guy who quit on us because he felt like he should be playing more! Bear was selfish! He transferred 3 or 4 times in high school, twice in college. “When someone shows you who they are believe them”! We moving on! ✌🏽

[@stormnation8910]

He doesn’t owe you a damn thing. Only thing he needs to do is win games. You want gossip? Go watch TMZ 😂😂😂

[@violetvixen19]

Why distract the team from the job at hand to talk about some guy who quit? He’s here to win games bro

[@bkmason57]

You're getting paid a MILLION DOLLARS A MONTH, and with a 4 point lead and 4 minutes to play, this 'guru' throws it into the dirt 3 times and punts? Heck I'LL f*ck up the team for $500,000 a month!

[@StandOutProd919]

Lol 💯

[@stormnation8910]

Doesn’t whining every day get boring 🥱🥱

[@gendaminoru3195]

So, first you lie to us, and then say you are not going to take questions about Bear when you knot that's going to be half of them. So you have now passed up two opportunities to show real leadership on this issue and reinforce what's best for the team. Not the way to get people on your side or buy-in. Think about how JR or CPC would have dealt with this.

[@stormnation8910]

Cry harder tough guy 😭😭😭

[@violetvixen19]

No reason to add to the distraction during a game week. He’s not here to dance for online trolls, he’s here to win games

[@StandOutProd919]

You're not taking ANY questions about it? Lol I'm really struggling to find reasons to watch any of these interviews nowadays. You learn nothing....all the answers are cookie cutter....what's the point?

[@youthxx47]

If you want to hear gossip about a 21 year old go somewhere else, we have a game in 2 days

[@StandOutProd919]

@youthxx47 the top paid player left the team yesterday and you would classify that as......gossip? This fanbase sometimes.......

[@dontizzle805]

​@StandOutProd919 Riley didnt want to move him from 2nd team to starter with threats of leaving. Obviously he said no and he left lol nothing to say its clear

[@StandOutProd919]

@dontizzle805 that's about a fourth of what happened lol and then he tells his team/coaches yesterday to tell everyone that he will be discussing the situation tomorrow, then tomorrow comes and he says he isn't talking about it.....but hey, if everyone's cool with not holding people accountable for the things they say, do, culture they set, or perform as a coach....so be it.

[@hrpickinstuff]

I just learned something on the subject. I think it's best Riley does not talk about it. Let it go and move on.

[@hdeffman]

Riley you are total BS. "There is no news here" is what we heard from you 2 days ago. Now you won't take any difficult questions on one of your problem linemen.

[@Labdad1999]

Why give airtime to quitters? Bear has played for six teams in 7 years.

[@TrojansFirst]

@@Labdad1999 Soon to be 7 teams in 8 years. I wonder if it will end up being 8 teams in 9 years if he stays for his redshirt senior year? I expect he will want to play one year at Oregon and enter the draft, though.

[@magnamater4754]

So you’re saying that you’re only here for the drama? Go watch real housewives of Arkansas or something. This is a college football team not TMZ

[@violetvixen19]

Why add to the media distraction during game week? It’s his first big ten home game. His main job is to win games not create media content

[@jordanbelfort3297]

Bear can go and honestly, so can Riley. 3 years and 10+ million a year and that’s the offensive game you call? Loser coach who made his name off a weak ass big 12

[@stormnation8910]

Whining bloomer fans still can’t cope 3 years later 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jordanbelfort3297]

@stormnation8910 dude. I'm a life long sc fan. Seriously, did you think that Michigan game was a great called offensive game? We had alex grinch for 2 years and now we have real defenses to go up against and Riley is being exposed. F Oklahoma, F Oregon , I'm not going through more helton , sark, kiffin, Hackett, smith, jr2 crap. Enough is enough. Get me a defensive genius as head coach who can hire an offensive guru. I.e. big balls Pete and norm chow. I don't know if Lynn is that guy but he's off to a great start.
