DALLAS (KRLD) — With former Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley now the head coach at USC, an Oklahoma state Senator wants to get in a little dig at Riley for leaving the state with no warning.
Senator Bill Coleman has proposed that the state designate the last three inches of State Highway 325 as "Lincoln Riley Highway" to symbolize someone leaving the state.
Highway 325 is on the far western edge of the Oklahoma panhandle leading right up to the New Mexico line.
In a press release, Coleman says "I felt the State of Oklahoma needed an appropriate goodbye to this former head coach whose sudden departure left many in shock, including a team of young, dedicated college players."
Coleman says if the legislature passes his measure he will pay all the expenses of installing the signage out of his own pocket.
