It was no secret that Riley was one of the brightest young up-and-comers in the college coaching business when Bob Stoops persuaded him to come to Oklahoma prior to the 2015 season.
When you surround yourself with the best, great things are destined to happen, and that is exactly what has taken place since Stoops brought in Riley, one of best and brightest offensive minds in the college game today, to shake things up in the Oklahoma offense and get the Sooners back on a consistent winning track.
The risk of bringing in an assistant with the pedigree and performance resume of someone like Riley is that you probably aren’t going to be able to keep him very long.
