The Oklahoma Sooners regular season came to a close in their 37-17 loss to the LSU Tigers. What has been the biggest question since the midseason offensive coordinator change will have an answer soon, according to Brent Venables via The Oklahoman.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Venables said they’d announce their offensive coordinator hire “in the next few days or so.”
It’s been an ongoing search for Oklahoma since they made the move from Seth Littrell to Joe Jon Finley.
“In the last couple of months, (we’ve) been working on finding the right fit for us from a coaching standpoint,” Venables said. “And (we) feel that we’re in a great position.”
Despite the offense’s struggles in 2024, it’s still an attractive job. Oklahoma has a couple of young quarterbacks who have shown flashes and have a commitment in the [autotag]2026 recruiting class[/autotag] from a talented four-star prospect in [autotag]Jaden O’Neal[/autotag].
The Sooners have been so synonymous with offense over the last 25 years that seasons like what OU’s offense has been through in 2024 are more of an aberration than the reality.
With a decision imminent, the Sooners will begin to turn the page on what’s been a disappointing season in 2024.
