Lincoln Riley has much more than a linebacker coach in Matt Entz

Matt Entz told reporters, “I’ve really enjoyed my first three months here” at USC.

Matt Entz won two national championships as the head coach for the North Dakota State Bison football team. Entz has made it no secret that he desires a head coaching position in the FBS or NFL, and chose to take a position coach spot at USC under Lincoln Riley to get there.

“It has been a good thing for me,” Entz replied when he was asked about the move to assistant head coach for defense and linebackers coach by Marc Kulkin after practice on Thursday. “I know you know, when you’re a head coach you’re worried about everybody. Now I get to worry about a room and and a little bit the defense overall. I kind of smile at times when coach has those moments or has those issues — like that’s on you, now you know — but now he’s allowed me to interject and to ask questions. He’s come and asked me, so (it) probably allows me to still at times put that head coaching hat on or how we have done things differently, or if I have any thoughts on how we can adjust practice, but it’s been good. I’ve really enjoyed my first three months here.”
