At least one state senator has taken the departure of Lincoln Riley to USC very well.
The senator from Ponca City proposed a bill that would change the name of the road to "Lincoln Riley Highway."
Coleman said in a news release that he felt the State of Oklahoma needed an appropriate goodbye to the former head coach who abruptly left. I found a small section of the most desolate highways to pay tribute to Coach Riley's exit from Oklahoma football. This is the last three inches one sees before leaving our great state and heading west.
In his first four seasons, Riley guided the Sooners to four consecutive Big 12 titles and three College Football Playoff appearances. The Sooners lost to Oklahoma State in the Big 12 title game and he left for USC.
Coleman said that there is a level of professionalism that is expected to be followed. "From all indications, professionalism was absent in how this departure was executed."
The bill will be considered by the Senate in February. Coleman, a radio broadcaster and owner of a few stations, will pay for the signs if it becomes law.
