Oklahoma has promoted analyst Seth Littrell, the former head coach at North Texas to offensive coordinator and tight ends coach Joe Jon Finley to serve as co-offensive coordinator, the school announced Wednesday.

Littrell, who played fullback on Oklahoma's 2000 national title team, takes the lead coordinator role as the Sooners replace Jeff Lebby, who left to become Mississippi State's head coach earlier this week. The 45-year-old Littrell joined coach Brent Venables' staff this season after seven years at North Texas, where he went 44-44 with five bowl appearances. Before landing the North Texas job, Littrell built his reputation as a gifted offensive playcaller at North Carolina, Indiana and Arizona.
