USC COACH LIES

Lincoln Riley trashed Oklahoma this week as he, as of his routine, told “stories” about his departure from the Sooners two years ago.   The former Sooner coach said that his home in Norman was broken in on more than one occasion before he departed for California.  In checking with the local police, no reports of any break in was made nor does the police have any knowledge of the incidents.  Now tell me, when does a person have his home robbed and that person does NOT report it to the authorities?  No, Riley lied. 

Then he said that he told his Sooner players not to leave the team and that did not happen as he took the best players on the roster with him to USC.  This man, a great offensive coach, is a turd and lies at the whim.  One of the most disgusting human beings in the sports world.  Lincoln Riley is a bad person.
