Oklahoma fires offensive coordinator Seth Littrell: How did the Sooners' season go wrong?

Oklahoma fired first-year offensive coordinator Seth Littrell on Sunday, a program source confirmed The athlete. Scoop first reported the news earlier.

The Sooners have lost three of their last four games and are ranked 132nd in the country in offense. The OC news comes one day after Oklahoma (4-3) lost 35-9 to South Carolina. The Sooners have scored just 12 points in their last two games and are averaging 4.31 yards per game in their first season in the SEC.

Littrell, a former Oklahoma player and North Texas head coach from 2016 to 2022, was brought back to Oklahoma last year as an offensive analyst and promoted to offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach when Jeff Lebby left to become Mississippi State's head coach.

Playing behind an offensive line largely rebuilt through the transfer portal, the Sooners' two inexperienced quarterbacks, Jackson Arnold and Michael Hawkins, struggled.

The team was also hit by injuries at receiver.

Oklahoma plays at No. 18 Ole Miss on Saturday and has three other SEC opponents on its schedule in addition to FCS Maine: No. 21 Missouri, No. 15 Alabama and No. 8 LSU.
