In a notable move, Riley has tabbed former inside receivers coach Luke Huard as the Trojans’ QBs coach, choosing to have more flexibility to focus on other head coaching duties.
“I’ll still be very, very involved with the quarterbacks – I’m certainly not leaving it by stretch – but there are times when I want to be in the O-line meeting, there’s times when I want to be in the defensive meetings,” USC head coach Lincoln Riley said of no longer being his own quarterbacks coach. “I haven’t missed a defensive install this spring. And so to be able to bounce around but still be present there was ideal.
“I knew, at some point, I would probably want to have a quarterback coach,” Riley said at USC’s first practice of spring football on Tuesday, turning reflective for a moment. “I didn’t feel like it was the right thing in the beginning , because I felt like the best thing in the beginning to help us win was to make sure that that piece was right – I think that probably showed a lot in that first year.
“I’ll still be very, very involved with the quarterbacks – I’m certainly not leaving it by stretch – but there are times when I want to be in the O-line meeting, there’s times when I want to be in the defensive meetings,” Riley said Tuesday. “I haven’t missed a defensive install this spring. And so to be able to bounce around but still be present there was ideal.”
“I feel like it’s allowed me to be more present in other areas of the program, but still not leaving anything in terms of still having a role offensively,” Riley said Tuesday.
