Oklahoma sets sights on Kliff Kingsbury, among others
Lincoln Riley hasn’t been officially anointed as USC head coach. The shift has been felt throughout college football.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter says one of the candidates for the soon-to-be-vacant Oklahoma head coaching position will be current Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury.
Oklahoma has targeted Cardinals’ HC Kliff Kingsbury as one of the potential replacements for Lincoln Riley, league sources tell ESPN.
Kingsbury has one year remaining on his contract after this season.

Kingsbury came to Arizona from Texas Tech — via a pit stop at USC as offensive coordinator without coaching a play.
Another name being mentioned is Tennessee’s Josh Heupel, who went to college at Oklahoma and was on the coaching staff of Bob Stoops from 2006-14.
Speaking of Stoops …
Unreal, but can confirm Lincoln Riley is leaving OU for USC.. Expect Bob Stoops to be the interim Head Coach.
Wow. Just Wow….
