Oklahoma Hires 29-Year-Old Ben Arbuckle as Offensive Coordinator on Three-Year Deal

Dec 2, 2024, 09:41 PM

The University of Oklahoma has officially hired Ben Arbuckle, the 29-year-old offensive coordinator from Washington State, to serve as their new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach on a three-year deal. Arbuckle, who has previously worked at Western Kentucky, has been recognized for his success in leading top-25 passing offenses, including back-to-back No. 1 units at WKU in 2021 and 2022. His hiring comes after a search process that involved several candidates, with Oklahoma finalizing a three-year deal with him. This move is seen as a strategic risk by head coach Brent Venables, who is looking to turn around the team's performance in the upcoming 2025 season.
