Lincoln Riley is an offensive genius. There’s no question about that at all. The man knows how to get the ball into the end zone, and he could get the most out of Dak Prescott.

However, he has yet to win a national title in college. If you can’t beat the best teams in college, what makes you think you can win a Super Bowl?
The last time Riley coached a game, Oklahoma got boat raced off of the field by LSU.
If Jones is going to take a look at former college coaches, then Urban Meyer would make a lot more sense. Now, if the former Ohio State legend doesn’t want the job, then take a shot at Riley.
However, taking aim at the Sooners coach from the jump doesn’t exactly make a ton of sense. Again, if you can’t beat the best college teams, why should we think you can dominate the NFL?
It only gets harder in the pros.
