In the offseason, the USC Trojans made significant changes to their football program. They brought in a new defensive coordinator, linebacker coach, and secondary coach. Additionally, Eric Henderson, who coached Aaron Donald to a Super Bowl win with the Rams, was hired to coach the defensive line. This marked a departure from previous coaches Alex Grinch and Donte Williams, as Lincoln Riley shifted the team’s defensive strategy to a more physical style.
The goal of the coaching changes is for USC to focus on getting bigger and developing thick, muscular players through rigorous strength training. While these changes are substantial, many rival fans and college football enthusiasts may not see them as a significant indicator of success for the Trojans. The skepticism surrounding Lincoln Riley, particularly after the team’s performance in 2023, lingers among many in the college football community.
Ultimately, it will be winning games that convinces rival fans that USC’s culture has truly changed for the better. The impact of the coaching changes will only be truly validated through on-field success. For more college football coverage, visit Fighting Irish Wire, Buffaloes Wire, and Ducks Wire.
