Five Coaches USC Could Target to Replace Lincoln Riley

With pressure mounting on Lincoln Riley five games into the 2026 season, USC is being linked to several potential coaching replacements. The candidates include Boise State's Spencer Danielson, who led the Broncos to a 12-2 record and a College Football Playoff berth in 2024, and SMU's Rhett Lashlee, who went 11-3 in 2023. Georgia defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann, BYU's Kalani Sitake (a four-time double-digit-win coach and Big 12 Coach of the Year) and Arizona State's Kenny Dillingham, fresh off a 2024 conference title, round out the list.
