Oklahoma Sooners to hire Ole Miss offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby in same role, sources say

Oklahoma has finalized a deal with Jeff Lebby to be the Sooners' new offensive coordinator and will make him one of the highest-paid coordinators in college football, sources told ESPN.

Lebby has been Ole Miss' offensive coordinator the past two seasons under Lane Kiffin and is scheduled to be in Norman, Oklahoma on Wednesday. His average annual salary will be just under $2 million, sources told ESPN.

Brent Venables, the former Clemson defensive coordinator, was hired Monday as Oklahoma's head coach to replace Lincoln Riley, and a big part of Venables' plan at OU was to land Lebby as his offensive coordinator.
