Lincoln Riley has no interest in coaching Browns: 'I love Oklahoma'

Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley indicated he has no interest in the Cleveland Browns' vacant head coaching job.

Head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley were both fired by the Browns on Monday, leading to speculation that Riley could be a candidate to fill Jackson's shoes.

"Knew that was coming," Riley said via Joe Mussato of The Oklahoman.

"The truth is for me, I love Oklahoma. I love coaching here. I love coaching college football. I certainly don't have that itch right now."

Riley's been linked to the Browns ever since his former quarterback Baker Mayfield was selected first overall in the most recent NFL draft.

This is the head coach's second season with Oklahoma, where he's posted a stellar 19-3 record to date.
