In five years as the head coach of the Sooners, Riley went 55-10 and won four Big 12 championships. In that time, he also guided the Sooners to three College Football Playoff appearances (2018, 2019, 2020) and coached back-to-back Heisman Trophy winners (Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray) who went on to be back-to-back 1st overall selections in the NFL Draft.

Riley went 4-0 against West Virginia.
