Oklahoma Fires Offensive Coordinator Seth Littrell

Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables announced the firing of offensive coordinator Seth Littrell after a disappointing season, highlighted by a 35-9 home loss to South Carolina. Venables emphasized that the decision was based on a thorough evaluation of the offense's performance, which he deemed unacceptable for the program's standards. Co-offensive coordinator Joe Jon Finley has been appointed as the interim play-caller, with offensive analyst Kevin Johns being promoted to co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Venables acknowledged the challenges faced by the offense, including injuries, but believed change was necessary to improve results. Littrell's tenure was short-lived, as he had only been in the role for eight games since being elevated from an analyst position. Venables expressed confidence in Finley and Johns to bring a fresh approach to the team's offensive strategy moving forward.
