USC Trojans head coach Lincoln Riley is paying his respects to a legendary Dallas Cowboys Hall of Famer.
Riley, who has been linked to the Cowboys head coaching job in the past, paid tribute to Hall of Famer Gil Brandt, who died last week.
Brandt, one of the most influential scouts in NFL history, passed away on Thursday.
“Will miss you greatly…Gil Brandt changed football forever & I was lucky enough to get to spend so much time with him…I’ll forever cherish those memories…All of our love to his family,” Riley said on social media.
Brandt and Riley spent time together while the latter was coaching at Oklahoma.

May he rest in peace.
