The mass exodus is a devastating blow to the program, which is still reeling from a disappointing season. The departures include several key starters and contributors, leaving the team with significant holes to fill.
But the most shocking news is the departure of defensive coordinator, Ted Roof. Roof, who was widely credited with improving the Sooners’ defense, has left the program to take a similar position at a rival Big 12 school.
“I’m shocked and saddened by the news,” said Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables. “Ted was a valuable member of our staff, and his departure will be felt. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
