Amid rampant speculation about the possibility he could leave for LSU, Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley reaffirmed his commitment to the Sooners following a 37-33 loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday night.
"I'm not going to be the next head coach at LSU," Riley said.
His proclamation came just moments after the Sooners were eliminated from Big 12 title contention with the loss in Bedlam, ending a streak of six consecutive conference championships for the Sooners, including each of Riley's first four seasons as head coach.
In a follow-up question, Riley was asked if he needed to have a better understanding about what the future of the Oklahoma athletic department looked like.
