He’s fine.

USC will be in the 10 win neighborhood and play off discussion.

Programs aren’t going to have money for buyouts anymore.

Was listening to Cowherd and Joel Klatt talking about it. Basically made the point that a change in today’s world could cost 100 million.

40-50ish to buyout exiting staff + about that much for new staff + roster overhaul. Nobody is going to go through all that unless disaster strikes.

The attendance for the first game is just LA…lots of things for people to do. San Jose St doesn’t cut it in that town.

Cowherd is a usc homer and platt is a big ten homer. Colin also said if they lose their 3 biggest games he could see a change. The real cost is the next salary since Riley is a sunk cost but there’s so much money out there look at Auburn and their buyouts.

Another thing is who replaces him?

If you’re going to spend 80-100 mill to move on from a 9-10 win coach, who’s your guy?

Programs are getting turned down nowadays. Dudes can make great money pretty much anywhere.

Patterson is on staff. He could replace. I spoke with a USC fan before the game and he said the sentiment is that Lincoln needs to show out this year or he will be gone. 10 wins would get it done in the B1G.
