“As a head coach here, you definitely know his history and his legacy, the type of player he was here,” Riley said. “We certainly recognize that, and of course extend our condolences to his family for their loss.”
The 1968 Heisman winner had not been with the team since the murders of Brown and Goldman until he visited the USC practice in Fort Lauderdale in late 2002.
Pete Carroll called Simpson “a legend” after welcoming him, but the coach and school received widespread public condemnation for dealing with Simpson again.
His connection with USC was largely terminated from then on, especially after his subsequent nine-year incarceration for armed robbery.
