USC linebackers coach Matt Entz takes Fresno State head coaching job
LA TimesWhen Matt Entz took the job as USC’s linebackers coach last January, leaving behind a head coaching job at North Dakota State, he was transparent about his intentions. USC defensive line coach Shaun Nua, defensive line coach Eric Henderson, linebackers coach Matt Entz, secondary coach Doug Belk and defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn look on from the sideline during the spring game on April 20 in Los Angeles. “Coach Entz is amazing.” When the news was made official Wednesday, the junior linebacker tweeted that he “can’t even lie, I’m hurt.” “Y’all don’t even understand the man changed my whole perspective about this …” Gentry wrote. “A year ago, I truly believed football wasn’t gonna work out … that man came with the whole d staff and changed my perspective.” Entz’s exit for Fresno State, which will join the Pac-12 in 2026, also added some tension at the start of the early signing period, with multiple linebackers slated to join the Trojans’ 2026 class.
