Jeff Lebby among coordinators up for HC job

The offensive achievements is there. Dating to his time jogging the offense for the NAIA’s Southeastern Fire, Jeff Lebby has put with each other effective models at each and every move.

His UCF accomplishment led to an opportunity at Ole Overlook. And when Brent Venables arrived calling, it was way too excellent of a probability to move up.

But how extended will he be in Norman?

The college or university coaching carousel appears in no way-ending. Just before coaching a match in the 2022 period, several prominent head coaches (seeking at you, Scott Frost and Steve Sarkisian) have their places staked out on the scorching seat.

So it’s no shock Lebby is previously having talked about as a attainable head coaching prospect in the potential.

CBS Sports’ David Cobb took a appear at outstanding coordinators throughout higher education football, and he believes Lebby will be in line for a occupation soon.

Nonetheless just 38, Lebby has a great deal of time to cement his location as a person of the sport’s best offensive minds and land a profitable head coaching position. He’s coming off statistically phenomenal stints as offensive coordinator at UCF and Ole Miss out on, getting worked miracles for quarterbacks such as Dillon Gabriel and Matt Corral. Now, he is reuniting with Gabriel at Oklahoma to aid launch the Venables period. Crimson flags around Lebby’s time at Baylor doing work for Artwork Briles in the course of a scandalous period of time aren’t heading to fully disappear. But as Lebby’s time doing the job for his father-in-regulation fades additional into the length, his candidacy for a head coaching gig enhances. – Cobb, CBS Sports

He hasn’t coached still at Oklahoma, but the expectation is Lebby will obtain the exact same degree of success in Norman as he did with UCF and Ole Pass up. If he’s in a position to put with each other some of the greatest offenses in higher education football, it should not be extensive prior to Lebby is becoming courted for prominent Energy Five employment.

Here’s hoping he requires a webpage from his latest boss’ tale and will take his time to uncover the ideal position. It in all probability will not be 20 decades, but if they could maintain Lebby for a recruiting course or two, that would be huge for the Sooners as they get set to changeover to the SEC.
