When reports emerged Sunday around noon that Lincoln Riley will be USC’s next head football coach, shock waves were sent throughout the college football world — especially at USC, where fans, coaches, former players, potential recruits and more shared their reactions on Twitter.
Suffice it to say the news was received quite well.
I can’t stop smiling.

WOWWWWW!!!!!!
Mike Bohn with a STATEMENT out west.
Congratulations Trojans!
If Lincoln Riley can keep Donte on staff the recruiting will be crazy! USC finally has a coach again that can walk into any recruits home and get them. Keep Donte and we’re rolling ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾

I've defended Bohn so many times while people bashed him. He is a professional AD that was hired to hit a grand slam. He Did. Amazing that he pulled this off without a single leak. That was a serious ninja Athletic Director move like nobody has ever seen before.#USC #FightOn ✌️
