West Virginia pulled off a big-time hire over the weekend, officially landing Zac Alley as the team's new defensive coordinator. The move backs up the promise from some of WVU's biggest donors, showing that they are more than committed to helping assist Rich Rodriguez in returning the football program to national relevance,

The Oklahoma Sooners have another coordinator position to fill in the wake of Zac Alley's departure for West Virginia. The Sooners hired Ben Arbuckle to take over the offense after the regular season ended. Despite a 6-7 season, the Sooners will be an attractive job.

Zac Alley, who was hired in January as Oklahoma's defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, is set to depart the program for the defensive coordinator position at West Virginia under new Mountaineers coach Rich Rodriguez , a source confirmed to Sooners Illustrated and 247Sports. ESPN was first to report the news.
