Only two play-calling offensive coordinators have been fired this century from the Oklahoma Sooners, and both are on the Tennessee Volunteers’ staff this season.
The No. 18 Sooners visit No. 14 Tennessee at 6:30 p.m. CT Saturday for a matchup between plenty of familiar faces with OU DNA, including a pair of former players and coordinators in Josh Heupel and Seth Littrell. Both played on the Sooners’ last national championship team in 2000 that also had OU head coach Brent Venables as a co-defensive coordinator.

Former head coach Bob Stoops fired Heupel, his former QB1, in what was an ugly breakup in 2014.
