BREAKING: USC Trojans Announce Defensive Line Hire | A Surprising Move That Establishes Continuity

from USC LAFB: A USC Trojans Show · host LAFB Network

When Coach Eric Henderson announced that he would be leaving the USC Trojans and returning to the NFL, there were plenty of big names linked to USC for the open job. After a few days of speculation, Lincoln Riley and Gary Patterson ultimately decided to promote from within and move Skyler Jones from defensive analyst to essentially become the defensive tackles coach with Shaun Nua. We will see how the pair works together, but I would expect Nua to have a bit of a larger role moving forward. Comment your thoughts on the hire below.
