When USC Trojans head coach Lincoln Riley added Rob Ryan to his staff, he made a splash and he got fans excited. Now, the rest of the college football world is taking notice of things thanks to one of the most eye-opening intro pressers people have seen in a long, long time.
While speaking to the media this week, Ryan didn't hold back in being his 100 percent self. He brought up a trip to Hawaii with his wife, compared Riley to Sean McVay and so much more. Enjoy this clip and a laugh too if you haven't seen it yet:
Rob Ryan is a legend of the game. What a character.

Rob Ryan's intro USC presser is going viral and for plenty of good reasons
There are no words for how awesome that video is. Ryan has been hired as the team's new defensive assistant head coach and linebackers coach. Those position meetings with Ryan are going to be out of this world. Can you imagine having this guy over for an in-home visit as a recruit too?
Ryan is no question going to be a rockstar recruiter for this team. If anything, Riley should make sure he has some form of contact with every 5-star prospect the Trojans have high on their board. Ryan might end up being the difference-maker in USC winning some tight recruiting battles.

There are countless other posts showing USC and Ryan love right now, which is awesome. It's safe to say that Riley hasn't been able to live up to the hype ever since making the move from Oklahoma to Los Angeles, but there's hope that the Trojans can get back on the right track soon.
There's now a ton of hype surrounding the program thanks to big offseason moves, with Ryan's hire being high on the list. People are talking about him and for good reason. Once Week 1 gets here, though, the real work for Ryan and the rest of the staff will begin. USC needs to back things up in 2025.
