‘"[Chargers Coach Mike Riley’s] an unbelievable coach and person," [Rob] Johnson said. "He taught me a lot about football and life." Johnson and Riley were together at USC in 1993 and ’94. Johnson was the starting quarterback, Riley the assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. They were together before practice, at practice and sometimes after practice. "He was always in there with me," Riley said, referring to his office. "We had lunch most every day." The two would watch film and talk football, but they would talk about other subjects as well. "He’s one of my favorite people that I’ve ever met," Johnson said. "He’s so positive and has such a good attitude. I would go up to the office and talk about his family and what he likes to do.
