Riley is set to enter his third season at the helm in Los Angeles.
USC coach Lincoln Riley is entering his third season with the program this fall, but one media member is already floating names for Riley's replacement with the program.
ESPN's Paul Finebaum said that Colorado's Deion Sanders would make perfect sense for USC if the school elected to move on from Riley after another subpar season. "You have to win in L.A., otherwise, you lose badly, and I think losing badly" Finebaum said on ESPN'son Monday morning. "...I believe the answer after this season is Deion Sanders. He's going to be tired of Colorado because quite frankly, it's not prime time. He's done well, as well as he can, with his son and Travis Hunter and all the Stephen A. and Shannon Sharpe appearances. But that's gonna dry up this year because they're not going to be that great.
But if USC ever wanted to make a change at head coach and pay Riley an enormous buyout just three seasons into his tenure, Sanders would surely be an interesting fit.Mike McDaniel is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated, where he has worked since January 2022.
