And this could be just the beginning of a drastic coaching staff overhaul.

News of Norvell’s ouster comes less than a week after the Sooners scored only six points in a 34-point Russell Athletic Bowl loss to Clemson.

The news was first reported by FoxSports.com’s Bruce Feldman.

— Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops has fired co-offensive coordinator and receivers coach Jay Norvell, sources confirmed to The Oklahoman.

According to sources close to the program, the only OU assistant coaches with firm job security are running backs coach Cale Gundy, offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh and defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery.

Norvell’s contract ran through May 31, 2015, and he was also given the same raise last summer to bring his salary to $455,000.

He joined the Oklahoma staff in 2008 as receivers coach, and was promoted to co-offensive coordinator in 2010.

His career includes stops at Wisconsin, Iowa State, the Indianapolis Colts, the Oakland Raiders, Nebraska and UCLA.
