Will Oklahoma's Lincoln Riley ever dart for the NFL? This factor could make all the difference

Kevin Sherrington, sports columnist for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered your questions about the Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks and local college sports in a live chat Thursday. Below are highlights, edited for clarity. Check out the full chat here.

Is Lincoln Riley ever going to dart for the NFL? And if he does, how soon could you see it occurring?

Sherrington: I don't know what it is that motivates him as a coach. Does he truly enjoy recruiting? Because that's the difference. You can make roughly the same money as a college coach, and, generally speaking, you might last longer in a college town than in an NFL job.
