It turns out USC-bound Lincoln Riley was being honest about LSU job before leaving Oklahoma

Lincoln Riley told reporters on Saturday after Oklahoma’s loss to Oklahoma State that he would not be leaving the Sooners for the LSU coaching position. The lie detector has determined that was a true statement.

Riley is not heading to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Instead, he will pack his bags and head further west after accepting the USC coaching gig, according to The Athletic.

Riley has been an immensely successful coach with the Sooners, taking them to the College Football Playoff in three of his previous five seasons. As of Sunday, he has a career coaching record of 55-10 at the helm of the Sooners. Oklahoma’s hopes of another CFP run were all but completely wiped out on Saturday when they lost 37-33 to Oklahoma State. The Cowboys will play Baylor in the Big 12 Championship, marking the first time in the Riley era that Oklahoma will not be the conference champion.
