A lot has transpired at USC since, as evidenced by the four new faces who addressed the media after Riley: general manager Chad Bowden, linebackers coach Rob Ryan, inside receivers/tight ends coach Chad Savage and corners coach Trovon Reed. All four of those staffers have joined the program in the past month.

With Bowden staying at Riley’s house in the two weeks since arriving from Notre Dame, they have bonded quickly and believe they have assembled a coaching staff and a front office as strong as any

USC has lagged behind developing a front office to help it navigate the NIL era. Lincoln Riley introduced staff he says will bolster the Trojans.
