Money has a way of changing people's minds. Anyway the only thing I read here is that he's high on Jerry's list. It doesn't confirm that the interest is mutual and it might not be. Yet. But Jerry can be very convincing.
There's no salary cap on coaches and Jerry isn't getting any younger.
If all Jerry wants is to "keep control", he can do that by keeping the red headed puppet. Garrett gladly plays "puppet" to maintain that big salary Jerry pays him.If we get Riley I'm done as a fan. Riley wouldn't fix the accountability issues with this team. It would just be another stunt by Jerry to keep control. Jerry cant sell that crap to me anymore. Fix the team or lose fans.
FIRST, Riley aint leaving. This is all optics. Secondly, he isn't ready for the pro game. There are a handful of viable HC candidates out there WITH a winning pedigree.
Lincoln Riley wasn't ready for the Peach Bowl either. He just lost to LSU 63-28!
If Riley has even half a brain he will stay as far away from Jerry's clown show as possible.
Riley displaying something great coaching keeping it within 50 points.
HES STAYING AT OU. This is just fake news.
I hope he leaves OU but goes to Cleveland.
Lincoln Riley will be a hot item as a potential NFL head coach in the days to come. If the Dallas FO wants to secure him, they'll likely have to be decisive about it. The Cowboys organization is slow as molasses about making decisions. Do that with him and he'll likely end up elsewhere.
On the downside, he's exactly the type of college transitional candidate that they'd try to hand pick his assistants for him, whereas, a successful NFL coaching candidate wouldn't allow it. Hopefully, he'd make certain to resist their attempts to do so, if he knows what's good for him.
Urban lost 31-0 to Clemson in the semifinals in 2016. Does this disqualify him also?
