Lincoln Riley: 'I’m Not Going to Be the Next Coach at LSU'

Following Oklahoma's 37-33 defeat to Oklahoma State in a wild edition of Bedlam, Sooners coach Lincoln Riley was unsurprisingly asked about his coaching future, particularly the rumors linking him with the LSU job. Riley was unambiguous in his reply.

“Let me stop you right there. I’m not going to be the next coach at LSU," Riley said, per Jason Kersey of The Athletic. "Next question.”

The rumor mill had been buzzing about Riley leaving Norman for Louisiana, so much so that Oklahoma State gave a not-so-subtle nod to the possibility of Riley taking the LSU job by playing the Garth Brooks song "Callin' Baton Rouge" on Saturday night.
