Riley, a native of Lubbock, Texas, has been at Oklahoma since 2015 when he was the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach under Bob Stoops. He was promoted to head coach in 2017 when Stoops retired.

In his four complete seasons as head coach, Oklahoma has won the Big 12 three times which resulted in trips to the College Football Playoffs. The Sooners, however, are 0-3 in those playoff games.

Riley, 38-years old, has an overall head coaching record of 54-9. Oklahoma is currently 9-1 this season.

A resounding non answer.

As if he's going to sit in a presser at OU and say "yes, I'm interested in the LSU job".

1cajuncook•54 months

He didn’t say no.

Datbayoubengal•54 months

Love that answer because it said nothing.

foj1981•54 months

Obligatory HE GONE!!!

LSU2001•54 months

He would be stupid to say a flat NO at this juncture. Hell, either way he will probably become the highest paid coach in college football. It’s just a matter of who is printing the checks! OU or LSU Riley is about to get paid.

TommyDaTiger•54 months

Never be the highest paid as long as little Nicky is around. His contract states it will be raised automatically to be $1 higher. Sorry bruh

Better than jimbo

Jake88•54 months

Well, that's not an answer.

BlackPot•54 months

I honestly don't understand why reporters even ask. Like a head coach with 2 more in season games will remotely say anything about wanting a new job. How is this news?

Riley
Aranda
Rhule

I'd feel good about any of the three.

Aranda

He never said he wasn’t going to leave OU. He also didn’t say he wasn’t going to coach for LSU.

Riley is the best fit for LSU. He is young and hungry to win a championship. Great recruiter especially QBs, the last 2 years he recruited the #1 QB. He can run the Brady offense which no one else can. Just needs a great DC. Maybe LSU has the DC already.

HTF4U•54 months

if he does come we will have a QB who can play in Williams

If new HC is and X’s and O’s guy that will, genuinely, take responsibility for his team’s execution, and not throw his staff under the bus, LSU will be back on top. College players need to have fun, while upholding their on the field assignments. A good coach use every resource possible to motivate his staff and team. He knows who and when to give tough love, to keep his followers on task. Of all of the candidates mentioned, the question is who will meet that standard and who is in the position to say yes to the LSU HC job.

Aranda. Or we are back here again in 5years

HoustonGumbeauxGuy•54 months

He’s young and can relate to the players very well.

Vernonbrew22•54 months

He would be a good Tiger coach. Not a bad hire if this could happen

Willie Stroker•54 months

Nice punt Riley.

Way to give the fans a very solid maybe. This should do wonders for your pay raise and contract extension to stay at OU

CDawson•54 months

He doesn't want to stay at OU. Those fairy tale 11-0 season are coming to and end when he hits the SEC West. He has to get out of there before that happens.

A Menace to Sobriety•54 months

He gone................to LSU. Seems obvious to me.

DVinBR•54 months

Makes you wonder why they even ask these questions, there is always a default response
