USC football needs to change impressions and reputations this season. One of the people centrally responsible for creating that transformation is defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn. Lincoln Riley, in a recent interview with Steve Wiltfong of On3 Sports, expressed his respect for Lynn and how he goes about his business:
“I think when people get around him and see how he is as person he’s extremely genuine. He’s an outstanding teacher. I mean he can sit down with anybody and has the ability to make the game of football make sense. A really, really smart guy but can articulate it to people. And then you look back great history, both in the NFL and he authored the greatest defensive turnaround in college football last year. I think all that combined, he’s a pretty special guy.”
It’s easy to be excited about D’Anton Lynn and how dramatically he will improve the level of teaching — and by extension, the quality of technique — on the USC defense. If Lynn delivers the goods, USC’s chances of succeeding in 2024 will skyrocket.
