In a stunning and unexpected move, USC has hired Lincoln Riley away from Oklahoma as their new head football coach, with the 38-year-old accepting the job Sunday

Riley had a 55-10 record in five seasons with Oklahoma and guided the team to four consecutive Big 12 titles and three College Football Playoff appearances.

His departure comes as a blow as the Sooners are about transition into the SEC. Former Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, who retired in 2017, will become interim coach.
