Our YouTube breakdown of Brent Venables making new hires on offense

The OU offensive coordinator search did not take long for head coach Brent Venables and the Sooners. Just two days after losing Jeff Lebby to the Mississippi State head coaching spot, OU is going with the co-title.

SoonerScoop was able to confirm Seth Littrell and Joe Jon Finley will serve as co-offensive coordinators, multiple sources said Tuesday.

Perhaps just as big, if not bigger, would be SoonerScoop confirming quarterback Jackson Arnold is giving a thumbs up to the move. He should absolutely be ready to roll for the 2024 season.

The word? Continuity.

SoonerScoop’s Eddie Radosevich and George Stoia were back in the studios Tuesday evening to break it all down. How we got here? What’s next? And all that good stuff.
