00:00There is a lot of heat on Lincoln Riley.
00:03Lincoln Riley was asked, you're in year five.
00:08You have yet to take this team to the playoffs.
00:11You have yet to win a conference title.
00:14So he goes out of his way to talk to the fans at his press conference yesterday about Ohio
00:21State saying, quote, I love it here.
00:24I mean, like I told you guys a lot of times, there's not many people in college football
00:29history that gave up what I gave up to come here.
00:32Here's the problem, dude.
00:34No one gives a flying bleep about what you gave up to go to Southern California.
00:41USC is the university of spoiled children.
00:45Do you understand what UFC thinks about themselves?
00:48Hold on.
00:49I don't care if it's 15 years down the line that never should be taken lightly.
00:54They don't care.
00:56It's certainly not taken lightly by me.
00:59I came here because I believe in this place and none of that has changed whatsoever.
01:04Here's the problem for Lincoln Riley.
01:06They don't believe in you.
01:09You can believe in the place all you want, but you have done nothing with all the resources
01:16that Southern California gives to you.
01:18The recruiting base, the fan base, the money, the history, the alumni, the University of
01:27spoiled children do not care where you came from.
01:31You are lucky to be the head coach of Southern California of the Trojans.
01:35That's their take.
01:37And they're not, and they're now not sure that after this season, you should be the head coach.
01:44Why?
01:46Because Bob Chesney is blowing your life up, dude.
01:51In your same city.
01:52There's a guy in year one who has his team ranked in the top 10.
01:58They're undefeated.
02:00And they are going to be a problem for you because your rival is doing it quicker and
02:08better than you, Lincoln Riley.
02:10So no one cares where you were, no one cares what you gave up.
02:15Nobody cares that you should not put that down.
02:21You should not take that lightly that I gave up so much to come to Southern California.
02:29Nobody cares.
02:31Like, what are you doing talking about that?
02:36At anything else, it should be an apology.
02:39You haven't even sniffed a conference championship or a national championship or a playoff berth
02:47at USC.
02:49You can't win away from home.
02:51You could win home games, but you can't win away from home.
02:54You can't win on the East Coast.
02:56It's well documented.
02:58So now you have a quarterback.
03:01I like my Ava.
03:03I like a lot.
03:04He's from UNLV.
03:04He was great at UNLV.
03:06He's been good at USC.
03:07They have all these young, talented freshmen, right?
03:10He went the freshman route.
03:11He went their old school recruiting route, and these kids are starting to play really
03:14well.
03:15But I was really surprised that Lincoln Riley went down that road to basically tell USC
03:23fans, you're lucky to have me.
03:25I gave up so much to come here.
03:28Oh, boy.
03:29Buddy.
03:29Uh-uh.
03:31Your resume does not let you talk like that.
03:33You're in the spot of Pete Carroll, okay?
03:35You're in the spot where Fight On is looking at rings in championships.
03:40And again, UCLA did it pretty damn fast.
03:44You're in year five, dude.
03:47He better beat Ohio State.
03:49That's all I got to say about Lincoln Riley.
03:51He better beat Ohio State.
03:52You're at home.
03:53The Buckeyes have a backup quarterback making his first start on the road.
03:57You better beat Ohio State.
03:59If you lose to Ohio State coming off a bye and you're USC at home, you got a night game.
04:07You got a Coliseum that will be completely full and sold out.
04:12Boy, oh boy.
04:13If you don't win this game, you're Lincoln Riley.
04:16I don't know what to tell you, man.
04:18You may not be there next year.
04:21It's, I mean, you have a huge buyout.
04:23I get it.
04:24USC doesn't care.
04:26If money fixes an ill, USC is going to fix it.
04:32It's the one thing that they can deal with.
04:34It's like Notre Dame, right?
04:36Talking about alumni and fan bases that will pay to get themselves out of any problem or mistake
04:42that may have been made.
04:43And they won't like it, but they will write the check to get rid of you if they need to.
04:49I really, I hate to say he's coaching for his job, but it really feels like Lincoln Riley
04:53is coaching for his job coming up here against Ohio State because the schedule doesn't get
05:00easier for Ohio, for USC.
05:03And then they've got UCLA.
05:04Like if you lose this game at home to the Buckeyes without their starting quarterback, you're
05:12going to go at Indiana next week.
05:15You're going to beat Indiana.
05:16You lost at home to Ohio State.
05:19You're going to lose to Indiana.
05:21And then you're on the road at UCLA to end the year.
05:25Uh, oh, you're currently six and five, six and two.
05:30That's five losses.
05:32You're going to go seven and five.
05:34Goodbye.
