Former Oklahoma offensive assistant Joe Jon Finley is leaving the SEC and heading to the Sun Belt for the 2026 season, according to a report on Sunday afternoon by Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports.
Zenitz reported that the 41-year-old Finley is set to be hired by Texas State as an offensive assistant.
According to the CBS Sports report, Finley will be working with the Texas State quarterbacks in his new role in a very new college football setting, as the former Oklahoma player and longtime Sooners assistant is apparently getting a fresh start.

— Matt Zenitz (@mzenitz) February 15, 2026Finley began his Oklahoma playing career as a quarterback but converted to tight end because of a lack of playing time. After a 5-year career in the NFL, Finley started his collegiate coaching career as a graduate assistant at Oklahoma in 2012 and after numerous stops in between returned to Norman as a tight ends coach in 2021.
He served in that role as well as co-offensive coordinator and even offensive coordinator for the past 5 seasons, also making stops in the SEC at Mizzou, as well as Texas A&M and Ole Miss before coming home to Norman in 2021.
But apparently now Oklahoma will no longer be his college football coaching home, with the Arlington, Texas, native reportedly heading back to his original home state to continue his coaching career.
