Heupel was Oklahoma’s co-offensive coordinator from 2011-14, and served on Bob Stoops’ staff from 2006-14. During his time at OU, he mentored Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford and helped the Sooners win four Big 12 championships.

He spent this season as Utah State’s offensive coordinator. The Aggies are averaging 29.7 points per game.

As a player, Heupel quarterbacked Oklahoma to the BCS National Championship in 2000. He was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy that season, behind Florida State quarterback Chris Weinke.

Odom was hired as Missouri’s new coach on Friday.
