NORMAN — While Bob Stoops may be the biggest addition to OU’s coaching staff this week as it hopes to get in Saturday’s home finale against Baylor, Lincoln Riley’s staff might have even more different faces this week.
“We have some good opportunities,” Riley said Tuesday when asked if he was able to bring in additional help from elsewhere on the staff, moments before he dropped the news Stoops was helping out this week. “There are some good options.”
While Riley wouldn’t give specifics, outside of saying he had not tested positive for COVID-19 or been caught up in contact tracing that could keep him away from the game, he said the coaching staff had been affected.
