Report: Oklahoma Staff Member Leaving for Washington

Losman finished his college career at Tulane and he was a first round draft pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. 

He had stints with Buffalo, the Oakland Raiders, the Seattle Seahawks and the Miami Dolphins as a player, and he crossed paths with current Washington coach Jedd Fisch while in Seattle. 

Losman joined Clemson’s coaching staff as a coaching intern in 2017, and he eventually was elevated to the role of analyst with the Tigers in 2020.

When Brent Venables was hired at Oklahoma, Losman made the jump with him, and he’s served with the Sooners ever since. 

While there were no major shakeups with OU’s offensive staff when Venables hired Washington State offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle, the young offensive mind did bring a colleague with him from Pullman, WA.

John Kuceyeski had a one-year contract for $200,000 approved by Oklahoma’s Board of Regents last month, where he will serve as a senior offensive analyst and work with the quarterbacks alongside Arbuckle. 

Before serving as Washington State’s quarterbacks coach under Arbuckle last year, he was the director of player personnel at Western Kentucky alongside Arbuckle. 

Prior to joining the Hilltoppers’ staff, Kuceyeski was the offensive coordinator and tight ends coach at Eastern Illinois for three years. He’s also served on staffs at Cornell, Iowa State, Toledo, Western Michigan and Northwestern.
