    Lincoln Riley's Job Security at USC in Doubt After Oregon Loss

    Despite a reported $70 million buyout, USC could potentially part ways with head football coach Lincoln Riley at the end of the season, depending on the team's performance in the remaining games. This comes after a disappointing 41-27 loss to Oregon in Week 4, which has raised questions about Riley's future at the university. USC hired Riley in 2021 with high expectations, but he has not won more than nine games in a season since and has only had two ranked finishes. Industry sources suggest that while the buyout is substantial, it may not prevent USC from making a change if they deem it necessary.
