The current president of the United States, Joe Biden claims by mistake that USC Trojans coach Lincoln Riley died. Since then, the President has faced immense criticism. Riley is a 40-year-old American college football coach who was born on September 5, 1983.
During his playing career, Caleb William’s former boss was a part of the Muleshoe High School football team, where he played as a defensive end. Despite starting as a defensive end, Riley changed his position during his junior and senior career and began playing as quarterback.
The 40-year-old played college football for Texas Tech University. He is regarded as one of the best coaches of college football for his great contributions throughout the years. The sudden mistaken words from the honorable president on the coach left the nation in shock.
