Lebby was hired as Oklahoma’s offensive coordinator by Brent Venables ahead of the 2022 season. Lebby does have ties to Mississippi, as he previously coached at Ole Miss under Lane Kiffin before taking the Sooners’ offensive coordinator job.
Lebby also spent time at Oklahoma with new Mississippi State athletic director Zac Selmon. Selmon worked in OU’s athletic department prior to taking the Mississippi State AD job back in January of this year.
Oklahoma has not been eliminated from Big 12 title contention, but the Sooners will need some help from other Big 12 teams on Saturday in order to make the conference championship game.
