NORMAN — When he stepped to the podium in the Switzer Center on Friday afternoon, Lincoln Riley had been the Oklahoma head football coach for 233 days.
With a season under his belt, he's hardly a rookie anymore.
But, he said, it feels like he's just beginning his first season.
“Because the calendar is a little bit more normal as far as going through your first offseason, first spring ball, all of those things that I didn't have the first year,” he said, explaining the feeling.
Now, seven months after taking the job, Riley is finally able to take advantage of his first full-length offseason by adding two new assistant coaches.
