Paul Finebaum Comes Right At Lincoln Riley Calling Him "A Fraud", And Recommends To Boosters Pay His 70 Million Buyout Because "It Will Be Worth It, Because This Guy Is Bringing Your Program Down To The Gutter"
Oh boy. Now we're cooking. This is what you want on a Monday mid day to keep the fire hot on one of the biggest stories of the weekend. Everyone is talking about the dirty hit on Dante Moore, and more Riley's handling of it, as well as USC losing to Oregon with Moore going out.
If you thought this story was going to go flame out, Paul Finebaum just poured a gallon of gasoline back on it. What a clip. There's guys who avoid contact, or conflict and Finebaum didn't do that here folks, he came right at it. Calls him a fraud, tells USC booster/money people basically sack up and pay the buyout because the longer you go the worst it gets, and essentially coming for his livelihood. That ain't a warning shot folks, thats one directly at the dome. Finebaum pulled no punches. You know Riley's already in a PR nightmare, and now he's got to answer for his job. Bloodbath. Just a nightmare type situation out in Los Angeles folks. I
also weirdly feel like this happens all the time at USC. For a power program that's had national titles, Heisman winners etc they seem to have disasters happen more often then not. The Kiffin firing, Helton getting fired 2 games into 2021, Sark's issues. I get it, bad breaks happen but man USC is a storied program and boy are they often in the headlines for shit off the field. Add Riley to that list as he now navigates trying to save the season while the world wants him gone. Drama in Cali ... the more things change, the more they stay the same.
