Oklahoma football coach Brent Venables will hire Ole Miss offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Jeff Lebby to become the Sooners' offensive coordinator, according to ESPN's Chris Low.
Per Low, Lebby is slated to earn about $2 million annually, which would make him one of college football's highest-paid coordinators. Lebby, who played football at Oklahoma, coached a high-powered Rebels offense that ranked fourth in yards (506.7) averaged per game in FBS while ranking in the top 25 in scoring offense (35.9) and pass offense (282.4) in FBS.
Under Lebby's tenure, the Rebels offense has witnessed success behind the play of quarterback Matt Corral, who has thrown for 3,339 yards and 20 touchdowns while completing 68.
