West Virginia University is finalizing a three-year agreement to appoint Zac Alley as its new defensive coordinator. Alley, who has previously served as the defensive coordinator at Oklahoma, will reunite with Rich Rodriguez, with whom he worked at Jacksonville State. This move comes as Oklahoma's head coach Brent Venables faces the challenge of hiring new offensive and defensive coordinators in the same offseason, following Alley's departure after just one season. Sources confirm that Alley is leaving Oklahoma to take on this new role at West Virginia.
