Oklahoma Parts Ways with OC Seth Littrell

The Oklahoma Sooners have fired offensive coordinator Seth Littrell after a series of disappointing performances, including a 35-9 loss to South Carolina. Littrell, who was part of the 2000 national championship team as a player, was released seven games into his tenure as OC following a 4-3 start to the season, including a 1-3 record in the SEC. The decision comes amidst offensive struggles, with the team averaging only 288.1 yards per game, making them one of the least productive offenses nationally. Head coach Brent Venables emphasized that the team's performance has not met the university's standards, necessitating a change. Joe Jon Finley, co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach, will step in to handle play-calling duties. Littrell expressed being at peace with the decision, despite the unfortunate timing and circumstances of his dismissal.
