Jeff Lebby's coaching record

The 39-year-old began his coaching journey as a student assistant with the Oklahoma Sooners. He held that position from 2002 to 2006 and then left to become the offensive line and tight ends coach at Victoria High School in Texas.

Lebby came back to the collegiate ranks in 2008 when he joined Baylor and served in different positions for nine seasons. He served as an assistant director of football operations from 2008 to 2011 before becoming the running backs coach for five seasons (2012-16). During the final two years of his stint with the Baylor Bears, Lebby also served as the passing game coordinator.

Then in 2018, he got his first gig as a full-time offensive coordinator at the NAIA school Southeastern University. During his single-season stint as the OC, the program won the Mid-South Conference Sun Division title along with a playoff berth. The offense under Lebby was ranked as the No. 1 scoring offense and the No. 3 total offense in the NAIA.

Jeff Lebby was then hired by UCF where he spent two seasons as the quarterbacks coach in 2018. He was promoted to the role of offensive coordinator a year later as the Knights ranked fifth nationally in total offense for the 2018 season. Then, Lebby served as the offensive coordinator and QB coach at Ole Miss under Lane Kiffin in 2020.

Lebby spent two seasons with the Rebels after which he joined the Oklahoma Sooners as the OC last year. This season under Lebby, the Sooners' offense has an average of 502.4 yards and 43.2 points per game, ranking in the Top 6 nationally.
