Lincoln Riley addressed Oklahoma fans upset with his departure for USC during an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show on Monday.
Riley was reported to be the next coach at USC on Nov. 28. He denied interest in LSU's head coaching vacancy one day prior.
“I understand they’re disappointed that we left,” Riley said Monday regarding Oklahoma fans. “I have a lot of love for that place. Me and my family poured our heart and soul into that place for seven years. Loved every second of it. Had a tremendous run of championships, success on and off the field.
