Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley will serve in the same capacity at USC.
USC’s head coaching position came open when the Trojans fired Clay Helton on Sept. 13.
Following Helton’s departure from USC, Vols Wire highlighted how the Trojans’ coaching search could impact first-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel.
Heupel guided Oklahoma to the 2000 BCS national championship as the Sooners’ starting quarterback. He later served as a graduate assistant, quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator for the Sooners.
Heupel’s time serving as co-offensive coordinator was alongside Jay Norvell who shared duties with him.
A look at Heupel and Norvell’s time as co-offensive coordinators at Oklahoma and how they operated can be read here. Since departing Oklahoma, both coaches have experienced success with their own philosophies and concepts as head coaches.
Below is a look at discussion of Heupel related to USC’s head coaching search and various individuals discussing the former Sooners’ quarterback and assistant.
