OU football is set to part ways with tight end coach Joe Jon Finley, according to SoonerScoop.

Finley has been with the program since 2021 when he was hired as an associate head coach for offense and tight ends/halfbacks coach in January 2021. He also served as co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach in 2024 and was the offensive play-caller for the final six games following former Sooner coach Seth Littrell's firing. 

He also played tight end for the Sooners in 2004-07 and was a member of Big 12 championship squads in 2004, 2006 and 2007.
