OU football journal: Steve Spurrier Jr. reportedly leaving Sooners for Western Kentucky

After a season back at Oklahoma, Steve Spurrier Jr. is heading back to an on-field coaching role, according to multiple reports.

Spurrier Jr., who has been the Sooners' director of high school recruiting and offensive specialist since returning to Norman earlier this year, will become the quarterbacks coach and assistant head coach at Western Kentucky, according to Fox Sports.

The Bowling Green Daily News was the first to report that Spurrier Jr. would join Mike Sanford's staff with the Hilltoppers.

Spurrier Jr. was the wide receivers coach on Oklahoma's 2000 national championship team before leaving to join his father's staff with the Washington Redskins.
