NORMAN — There are no easy ways to figure out to navigate being the head coach of a predominantly black football team, OU coach Lincoln Riley said Wednesday.
“As a coach, as a leader, there’s no manuals for this," Riley said. "This is a whole lot different than calling a play or designing a workout or practice or a schedule."
Though Riley posted Saturday that he stood with his players and wanted to be a part of change in the wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis and the protests it sparked around the country, he took an even further step Tuesday.
