Who replaced Lebby at OU? – Seth Littrell and Joe Jon Finley were named co-offensive coordinators at the University of Oklahoma to replace Jeff Lebby, who left his offensive coordinator post to become the head coach at Mississippi State. Prior to their selection, frontrunners included Bill Bedenbaugh, Joey Halzle and Josh Heupel.
Lebby left the University of Oklahoma on November 27, 2023.
During his time as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Oklahoma, the team’s offense achieved significant success.

The new offensive coordinator will be tasked not only with maintaining the high standards set by Lebby but also with putting their own stamp on the team’s offensive strategies.
