Here we go again.
Black Monday has arrived in the NFL, with several head-coaching positions expected to come open following the final weekend of the 2019 NFL season. And guess whose name is out there prominently again as a potential replacement candidate?
Sooner fans went through this same rumor mill in the early years of the Bob Stoops’ coaching tenure. It seemed Stoops’ name was associated not only with coaching openings at several major college programs but also with potential NFL opportunities.
Riley, who followed Stoops, the winningest coach in the 125-year history of Oklahoma football, is also following in the footsteps of his predecessor as a hot commodity at the higher level of the profession, largely because of the huge success he has had at Oklahoma but also because of his reputation as one of the most innovative offensive minds in the game.
