USC inside wide receivers coach Dave Nichol, who joined the team in December as part of Lincoln Riley's staff, has died. He was battling cancer.

Nichol followed Riley to USC after spending most of his career as an assistant coach under Mike Leach, the Air Raid aficionado who also gave Riley his first coaching job. Nichol began his coaching career as a student assistant under Leach at Texas Tech, where he had played as a wide receiver.Riley followed in Nichol’s footsteps as Leach’s student assistant soon after. The two would cross paths again at East Carolina, where Nichol coached receivers and Riley coached quarterbacks.
