Personnel
Coaching staff
Offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby was named the next head coach at Mississippi State after two years with the Sooners. With Lebby, the Sooners scored 65+ points three times with a 43.2 points scoring average.[21] Defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Ted Roof mutually agreed to part ways after two years with the Sooners. Head coach Brent Venables offered Roof an opportunity to remain on the staff in a different role, however Roof declined. With Roof, the Sooners improved from 98th in scoring defense and 121st in total defense in 2022 to being ranked 46th and 78th respectively in 2023.[22] Following these departures Venables promoted offensive analyst Seth Littrell to the vacant offensive coordinator/Quarterbacks coaching position. Tight ends coach Joe Jon Finley was promoted to Co-Offensive Coordinator. Jacksonville State defensive coordinator Zac Alley was hired as Co-Defensive coordinator, with Todd Bates and Jay Valai being promoted to Co-Defensive coordinators as well. On October 20 following seven games and lack luster offensive play, Littrell was dismissed, Finley assumed play calling duties and offensive analyst Kevin Johns was promoted to interim Co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.[23]
