Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley has occupied the No. 4 position for a couple of years now in the ranking of the top 25 college football head coaches published by The Athletic.
That’s a significant accomplishment, especially given that Riley’s time as a head coach spans just four seasons. Not near the time in grade as the head coaches who rank ahead of him, but also most everyone who ranks behind him in this year’s top-25 coaching rankings.
