It has happened, and it has happened quickly. Alex Grinch, whose tenure as USC defensive coordinator brought the Trojans and their fan base nothing but headaches for nearly two full seasons, was fired on Sunday afternoon.

Defensive line coach Shaun Nua and inside linebacker coach Brian Odom will serve as interim co-coordinators for the remainder of the season.

A lot of people thought Lincoln Riley would never, ever fire Alex Grinch, as though the head coach and the defensive coordinator were married.

This isn’t a household. This is a college football program. This is big business. People who were skeptical that Alex Grinch would be fired lost awareness of how untenable this situation had become. There was simply no way out. There was no possible remaining justification for retention. Lincoln Riley ran out of leverage and excuses.

Let’s go through some of the details and immediate reactions to this big story, a story USC fans had been waiting to see:

BOOM
