It has been reported by multiple outlets that Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley is headed to the University of Southern California. The move comes just hours after Riley’s first Bedlam loss, which will add an extra layer of bragging rights and a special kind of trolling fodder for OSU fans for some time.
And wouldn’t you know it. They’ve already started.
Here’s a look at some initial reactions on the bombshell that just fell on Norman, Okla.

Lincoln Riley cut off the head coach questions last night before anyone could ask about USC.
Power move.

There were so many California songs OSU could’ve played over the loudspeakers last night.
Gonna have to go-ahead and run the game back.

Wouldn’t blame him for leaving. Once you’re running the second best team in your own state it’s hard to sustain success. https://t.co/FbTqe7BdOg

So I am gonna get laughed at if I suggest Bob Stoops to OU?
— Josh Kopelman (@LatvianMissile) November 28, 2021
On that note.
Unreal, but can confirm Lincoln Riley is leaving OU for USC.. Expect Bob Stoops to be the interim Head Coach.
Wow. Just Wow….

Will be interesting to see which way Joe Castiglione goes with the next hire at Oklahoma with the move to the SEC looming. Had to be caught off-guard.
