Oklahoma makes big change to coaching staff after latest loss

The Oklahoma Sooners are making a big change after Saturdays ugly loss to South Carolina.

OUInsider reported that tight ends coach Joe Jon Finley will take over playcalling duties going forward.

He was promoted to offensive coordinator in November 2023 when Jeff Lebby vacated the position to become the new head coach at Mississippi State.

The Sooners must have felt they had to do something after a 35-9 home loss to South Carolina, their third defeat in four games.

They scored a total of 27 points in those three losses including just three against Texas in last Saturdays rivalry game.

They have also received some criticism for their handling of the quarterback position this season.

Oklahoma has a tough game at Ole Miss next week and it closes with games against Missouri, Alabama and LSU.

Things could certainly get worse if it cannot start putting points on the board more consistently.
