Lincoln Michael Riley (born September 5, 1983)[1] is an American college football coach and former player who is the head coach of the USC Trojans football program at the University of Southern California.
Lincoln is the brother of successful coordinator Garrett Riley who is the OC for Clemson. He previously served as the head coach at the University of Oklahoma for five seasons from 2017 to 2021, where he won four consecutive Big 12 Championship Games.
Playing quarterback himself as a walk-on player at Texas Tech and known for his "Air Raid" offensive scheme, Riley has mentored three Heisman Trophy winners at quarterback (Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, and Caleb Williams) as well as another starting NFL quarterback in Jalen Hurts.[2] As a fifth-year head coach, he has produced over 28 draft picks including 5 first-rounders, but is 2–4 in end-of-season bowl games and 0-3 in the College Football Playoff.
