The University of Oklahoma is set to officially announce the hiring of Zac Alley as the new co-defensive coordinator (DC) and linebackers coach. Alley, who was the DC at Jacksonville State in 2023, is expected to have his contract details released after the Regents' meeting on March 7. The Sooners have also started their Big 12 play with a victory over Iowa State. Additionally, the Board of Regents approved a three-season contract for new offensive coordinator Seth Littrell worth $3.6 million in total. Littrell will earn $1.1 million this season, with annual increases of $100,000. The total payment for assistants in 2024 is set at $6,689,000, before adding Alley's compensation, a decrease from the $7,755,000 paid in 2023. Jay Valai, the cornerbacks coach and co-DC, has been named the assistant head coach for defense. Discussions about a contract extension for head coach Brent Venables are expected in the near future.
