Early career
Riley ran track at Muleshoe High School in Muleshoe, a town in West Texas. He began his high school career at defensive end and made the move to quarterback for his junior and senior seasons.[3] Riley played quarterback at Texas Tech University as a walk-on in 2002,[4] behind senior starter and future Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury and back-up B. J. Symons. After a year, he became a student assistant to Mike Leach,[4] gradually progressing to graduate assistant and then to receivers coach. Following his departure from Texas Tech after the firing of Leach, Lincoln went on to serve five seasons as offensive coordinator at East Carolina University[5] under Ruffin McNeill.
Oklahoma
Riley was hired by Bob Stoops to be the offensive coordinator for the Oklahoma Sooners on January 12, 2015.[6][7] In his first season at Oklahoma, Riley led the Sooners to the 7th ranked offense in the country and to the College Football Playoff. He also won the Broyles Award, awarded the nation's top assistant coach. On June 7, 2017, Bob Stoops retired as head coach and Lincoln Riley was named his successor.[8] In the 2017 season, Riley, anchored by Heisman winner Baker Mayfield, led his team to the Big 12 conference championship, #2 in the CFP rankings, and a berth in one of the CFP semifinal games at the Rose Bowl. Oklahoma went on to lose the 2018 Rose Bowl to Georgia in double overtime 54–48.[9] The year after, Oklahoma, with Riley as its coach made it back to the playoff where they lost to Alabama 45-34.
