In the wake of a 52-42 loss to Washington at the Coliseum on Saturday, USC announces the firing of defensive coordinator Alex Grinch.
After two seasons of disappointment and amid soaring frustration with its struggling defense, USC fired Alex Grinch as its defensive coordinator Sunday. The move came after more than a year of festering furor among USC fans and less than 24 hours after an excruciating nadir for Grinch’s defense, which gave up 571 yards in a 52-42 loss to Washington on Saturday night. The defeat all but erased any remaining hope for a Pac-12 Conference title for the Trojans..
The two coaches had been together since 2019, when Riley lured Grinch away from Ohio State. They spent three seasons together at Oklahoma, leading the Sooners twice to the College Football Playoff. Later, at USC, Riley often used their tenure in Oklahoma as evidence of Grinch’s ability to rebuild a defense. Oklahoma might quibble with that version of events, as its defense struggled in similar fashion to USC by the end of that tenure.
