Oklahoma Sooners to hire Ben Arbuckle to be next offensive coordinator per report.
The Oklahoma Sooners have hired their next offensive coordinator. According to a report from Pete Thamel of ESPN, the Sooners are bringing on former Western Kentucky and Washington State offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle to take the reigns of the offense. Thamel states it’s a three-year deal for Arbuckle.
Though he’s only 29 years old, Arbuckle has had a lot of success as a play caller at the FBS level over the last few years. His first opportunity to be an offensive coordinator came in 202,2 where he crafted an offense for Western Kentucky that finished 15th in the nation in points per game at 36.4. The Hilltoppers were No. 7 in the nation in yards per game. They were No. 2 in the country at 352.2 passing yards per game.
In 2023, as the offensive coordinator with Washington State, the Cougars averaged 421.7 yards per game and finished No. 4 in the nation with 336.8 passing yards per game. Arbuckle helped propel now-Miami quarterback Cam Ward into the preseason Heisman conversation after leading the nation in total touchdowns in 2023.
