USC landed Lincoln Riley as its next football head coach, but Iowa State coach Matt Campbell was apparently also a top candidate for the job.
Former USC quarterback Matt Leinart broke down the situation with the Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday:
Pat McAfee"USC made it a point to get a lot of feedback from former players such as myself.. I was shocked when they got Lincoln Riley because I heard days before it was gonna be Matt Campbell" ~<a href="https://twitter.com/MattLeinartQB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MattLeinartQB</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PatMcAfeeShowLIVE?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#PatMcAfeeShowLIVE</a> <a href="https://t.co/nk938Mc11Z">pic.twitter.com/nk938Mc11Z</a>
"I was shocked, to be honest with you," Leinart said.
