Putting NFL rumors to rest, Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley has agreed to a contract extension with the Sooners.
A source told ESPN that Riley would be given a significant raise. Riley was the No. 16 highest paid coach in college football this year.
Riley led Oklahoma to the College Football Playoff in his first two seasons with the Sooners, while tutoring back-to-back Heisman Trophy winners in Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray, the first quarterbacks to win consecutive Heismans from the same school in the history of the award.
"We felt it important to extend and amend Lincoln's contract at this time as we want him at the University of Oklahoma for a long time," Oklahoma president James Gallogly said in a statement.
