On <a href="https://youtu.be/uVbIKpZy5xE?si=xjiY7DHzpSExe6wp&amp;t=1210" rel="nofollow"> The Matt Barrie Show </a> , Finebaum called Riley and USC a "bad marriage" when claiming the coach and program can't handle the new conference. "The Big Ten is too big for SC," Finebaum declared, via <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/usc-trojans/news/paul-finebaum-addresses-lincoln-riley-future-at-usc-after-loss-to-maryland/" rel="nofollow"> On3 </a> . "This is why Lincoln Riley bailed out on Oklahoma to go to the Pac-12. This is not what this is not what he’s built for, and I really don’t know how he’s going to survive." Finebaum added that Riley has "done a good job of blowing" his reputation as a good head coach. While the ESPN analyst doesn't expect an immediate coaching change, he's not counting on Riley holding the position for too long. "I don’t think he’s going to lose his job, but I don’t really think he’s going to be long for the world out there, though," Finebaum continued. "Outside of that one good year with Caleb Williams, it’s been a bust." <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2BBeJx_0wEjNG5500" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2BBeJx_0wEjNG5500" width="1200" height="800" ><figcaption>ATLANTA, GA - DECEMBER 31: ESPN/SEC Network Analyst Paul Finebaum is on set prior to the college football Playoff Semifinal game at the Chick-fil-a Peach Bowl between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Ohio State Buckeyes on December 31, 2022 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Trojans have also lost nine of their last 11 one-score contests. The defense has improved from a disastrous 2023, but they're still allowing 5.9 yards per play. Meanwhile, Miller Moss has thrown at least one interception in all five Big Ten bouts. Riley must stop the bleeding when USC hosts Rutgers on Friday night. <a href="https://thespun.com/pac-12/usc/usc-coach-lincoln-riley-getting-crushed-after-loss-vs-maryland" rel="nofollow"> Related: USC Coach Lincoln Riley Getting Crushed After Loss vs. Maryland </a></div></body>
