USC Officially Announces Lincoln Riley as Its New Coach

USC officially announced Lincoln Riley as its new coach Saturday night. The news was first reported by Yahoo Sports's Pete Thamel followed by several other reports on Saturday.

Riley leaves Oklahoma for Los Angeles in a stunning move after compiling a 55–10 record with the Sooners in five seasons. Riley was rumored to take the LSU coaching position but he nipped those rumors in the bud Saturday night when asked and said "I’m not going to be the next coach at LSU."

Former Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops will reportedly coach the team for its bowl game, according to The Athletic.
