Lincoln Riley: Leaving Oklahoma, Contract USC, USC Salary, SEC
Leaving Oklahoma:
Lincoln Riley was adamant Saturday night when addressing rumors that he would become the next head coach at LSU. He wouldn’t even let the reporter finish his question when he said, “I’m not going to be the next head coach at LSU. Next question.”
In five years, he produced four Big 12 championships, three College Football Playoff berths, two Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks in Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray (and a runner-up in Jalen Hurts), plus a combined 9-2 record over rivals Texas and Oklahoma State.

SEC:
Lincoln Riley will assuredly say all the right things about the opportunity to coach the tradition-rich Trojans. But pay attention to what Riley doesn’t say.
We already know he’s coy with his words. Saturday night after his Oklahoma team finished a flatly disappointing regular season by losing to rival Oklahoma State.
