Cale Gundy noted in his statement that he did not wish to be a distraction.
"I recognize this is a critical moment for Oklahoma football," Gundy wrote. "This team -- its coaches, players, administration and fans -- do not deserve to be distracted by off-the-field matters while working to continue the tradition of excellence that makes me so proud to be a Sooner.
"Naturally, I leave these sidelines heavy hearted. Coaching this football team truly has been my life's passion."
Cale Gundy had been on staff, since 1999, when Bob Stoops was hired to coach OU. OU won the 2000 national title.
Last year, Baylor and Oklahoma State outperformed OU in the Big 12.
Brent Venables is back in Norman, as head coach, after a long career as a DC, first in Norman, then at Clemson for Dabo Sweeney.
Opportunity knocks for Huskers in Lincoln this September.
