Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley hasn’t completely ruled out an eventual jump to the NFL, and if he ever decides to go pro, his contract won’t be prohibitive. Riley’s pricey new contract with the university calls for a $4.6MM buyout price, according to Eric Bailey of Tulsa World. 
The $4.6MM figure isn’t exactly chump change, but it’s probably not enough to dissuade an interested team from hiring the energetic coach, who turns 36 in September. Many teams were said to have interest in Riley before he inked his five-year, $32.5MM extension with OU and it’s not hard to see him being at the top of the heap in future offseasons. For reference, $4.6MM is less than the average NFL head coach earns on an annual basis.
It’s also worth noting that Riley’s buyout will decrease with time. The $4.6MM figure represents 22.5% of Riley’s remaining guaranteed compensation, but that number dips by about $1MM every year leading up to the contract’s expiration after the 2023 season. And, in March of 2022, the buyout becomes non-existent.
sorry cowboys….you aren’t getting him. you’re stuck with Garrett
Garrett is a puppet anyway
Yeah but we can hope
And pray
A LOT
Sorry but jerry jones is worth 6.8 billion. 4.6 million is chump change.
Seems relatively low honestly. Not enough to stop someone from going after him
You don’t understand….he’s not leaving Oklahoma to go to your dumpster fire team and terrible owner. But keep dreaming…..
