The 34-year-old Oklahoma football headmaster is 3-0 in his first season as a head coach, and he has the Sooners ranked No. 3 in the nation in both of the major human polls (Associated Press and Coaches Poll). That is up four spots from where Oklahoma began the 2017 season.
Riley is one of just five Sooner head football coaches (out of 22 total) to begin their head-coaching careers at Oklahoma by winning their first three games. And the other four might surprise you: V.L. Parrington, Jim Mackenzie, Howard Schnellenberger and Bob Stoops.
