Whispers are circulating within NFL coaching circles that USC head coach Lincoln Riley might consider jumping to the NFL.
The intriguing twist? – Rumor has it that Riley’s potential move is contingent on the chance to team up with his Trojan quarterback, Caleb Williams.
The speculation was first brought to light by Scott Wolf in a recent article for Inside USC, where he disclosed, “The word is Riley would be open to an NFL job if he could follow Caleb Williams to the same franchise.”
“If the Chicago Bears had the #1 pick, it would probably be ideal for this theory,” he said.

There’s a solid chance the Bears could own the first two picks in the draft, which is absolutely incredible.
Could the Bears possibly hire Riley, then proceed to draft Williams (and possibly Marvin Harrison Jr.)?
Riley certainly seems like more of a college coach than pro … But crazier things have happened.
What do you make of the rumor???
