The Oklahoma Sooners will be looking for a new cornerbacks coach. Jay Valai, who'd been a target of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in recent days , was also connected to the Buffalo Bills . According to a report from Adam Schefter, Valai will be heading to the NFL as part of new head coach Joe Brady's staff.
Valai will reunite with a former teammate and new Bills defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard as their cornerbacks coach.

Valai joined the Oklahoma Sooners after Brent Venables was hired as the head coach. In the early days of his tenure, the cornerback room saw some turnover and was reliant on the transfer portal. But over the last two years, Valai has had a pair of players earn freshman All-American honors with Eli Bowen (2024) and Courtland Guillory (2025) experiencing breakout campaigns as true freshmen.
The Oklahoma Sooners have experienced great stability on their coaching staff over the years, but will need to find a new cornerbacks coach to join Venables' staff. After a 10-2 season and a College Football Playoff appearance, the Sooners should be able to attract quality candidates for the job.
