The deal is done, and the ink on Lincoln Riley's first contract as Oklahoma's new coach dried faster than the time it took to actually feel normal typing "Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley."

According to the university's board of regents, Riley has agreed to a five-year deal that will average $3.5 million annually. Riley is slated to make $3.1 million in his first year with a $200,000 raise every Feb. 1 and a $500,000 retention bonus every June 1.
