CFB Rumors: Insider Reveals ‘First Call’ USC Trojans AD Would Make to Replace Lincoln Riley

Pressure is mounting on Lincoln Riley following a disappointing defeat against Oregon, leaving the head coach facing scrutiny amid waning playoff ambitions in Southern California. Dismissing the current leader would carry a steep price tag, as the university owes a seventy-two million dollar termination fee alongside additional expenses for incoming staff.

Even so, analysts suggest that athletics director Jen Cohen would target Alabama leader Kalen DeBoer first should a vacancy open up. DeBoer previously succeeded under Cohen during their time at Washington before moving to Tuscaloosa, where he now guides the Crimson Tide.
