There's been a lot of hype surrounding Riley seeing he transformed OU's offense upon his arrival two seasons ago, which ultimately led to back-to-back Big 12 Championship runs for the Sooners.

It wouldn't be surprising to hear Riley's name mentioned with other job opening around the country, but for now it looks like he's staying put in Norman.
