USC football news: Lincoln Riley defiant as ever as calls mount for his firing

Following a 41-27 defeat against Oregon, USC head coach Lincoln Riley is facing rising pressure and calls for his dismissal from commentators like Paul Finebaum and criticism from figures such as Colin Cowherd regarding the program's culture, compounded by a controversial celebration of a late hit by Desman Stephens on Dante Moore. Despite holding a 39-19 record since taking over the Trojans, which includes a 5-15 mark against Top 25 opponents and only one conference title appearance, Riley remains dismissive of the external criticism as his team prepares to host Washington with a 4-1 record.
