Because with Lincoln Riley there’s at least the argument that moving to the SEC makes Oklahoma a less attractive job.
Read it slowly and think about it again.
Then admit it's a dumb as frick statement. You think moving to the SEC makes the job less attractive to coaches because it's a much better conference?
C'mon man. There's a reason why the most attractive coaching destinations are in the SEC.

It was worded in a dumb way, but I think what he meant was that OU is not going to moonwalk into the playoffs every year in the SEC like they do now so his shine won’t be as bright in a couple of years. At LSU he’d inherit and continue to get better defensive talent. In the SEC, LSU has a better chance at success than OU.
However, for the record, I don’t think we can steal Lincoln Riley. It’s not exactly a flat lateral move, but it’s pretty damn close and OU will match on money any day of the week.

It boosts the appeal of the job, but it also increases it's difficulty.
OU is not going to be a consistent CFP team in the sec without an upgrade to defensive recruiting. It's just not.
LSU has the only thing that Riley doesn't already have at OU...top defensive in state talent with less competition.
Eta - Riley coming to LSU is very very doubtful. But there IS a reason for him to consider it.

OU has a relatively easy path to the playoff in the BIG 12.
It won’t be like that in the SEC.

They're saying that Oklahoma is going to be in for a rude awakening when SEC play starts and they realize that the bad teams not named vandy are Oklahoma State level. Riley will have significantly less shine if he goes 9-3 with the occasional season that competes for the playoffs, so his value is probably never going to be higher than it is right now.
I'm definitely not going to say it's a lock because I'm pretty sure such a move has literally never happened outside of obvious behind the scene problems/coach returning home, but if we see a headline in 2 months saying Riley to LSU is a done deal, that's why.
