Probably a non-zero chance he ends up on our staff by next season since he's close with Stein. Especially if we have any offensive defections in the coaching carousel.

The Arbuckle-Mateer combo didn’t really work out like I thought it might.

Every OU fan is saying Witten will call plays and replace BV as head coach after he turns around the offense

He’s going to be the next Chip Kelly

You can have him. He had some really good schemes but he also put Mateer over team. Michigan game we were gashing them running and he stopped and went Mateer pass happy. Cost us the game. He only cares about Arbuckle not the team. Brent shares blame by not overriding him.

Arbuckle kept all O starters in SC game even after SC pulled their D starters late 3rd qtr. he was stat padding instead of letting bench QB have any time. Shameful behavior.

@bwisefitness

Here are some pieces of information I’ve heard from some people:

- Arbuckle and BV have dealt with a fractured relationship all offseason because of BV’s desire to “coach his coaches” and Arbuckle’s resentment towards any type of criticism. Riley was far better dealing with constructive thoughts than Arbuckle.

- Mateer is “Ben’s Guy” so he has lived(and died) by that all season.

- Arbuckle’s practice schematics are as bad as his play calling. He isn’t/wasn’t efficient which is why things look so disorganized.

- Players like Mateer as a human-being but cannot stand that he’s gotten so many passes while a RB misses one assignment in pass pro then doesn’t play for four more series.

Just some nuggets that have been out there

You might have seen one person say that. Might.

He's not even going to be the OC next year

This is pretty unforgivable. They're limited on practice time and teaching time. Wasting the time they do have together with disorganization is an easy way to piss off the people you work for.

He’s a fake fan. He even made an alter so he could argue with himself and take both sides. What a dweeb.

Glad that Arbuckle is gone he was over his head from the git go. He was joined at the hip to Mateer. When Mateer was a little less than 3 weeks off hand surgeyry and started against TexASS in the RRR and failed spectacularly a news guy asked Arbuckle if he considered starting Hawkins and Arbuckle said “ no I never even considered starting Hawkins”. That is when I knew Arbuckle was not a team guy………he is a Mateer guy whether he can do the job or not……..

I don't follow OU, but why is / was he so tied to Mateer like this?

How quickly they forget.

Arbuckle was hired from Washington State where he was John Mateer's QB coach. At the time it was considered a real coup to get the top QB in the 2025 portal and his coach.

Now Brent Venables is catching a lot of flack for allowing Arbuckle to play Mateer instead of inserting a backup at QB regardless of the situation such as last Saturday when OU was down 3 scores at the start of the 4th quarter and Mateer had been very ineffective up to that point though to his credit he had not turned the ball over.

Some think Venables was not in full control of the situation as regards the offense and the decisions Arbuckle made which is not a good look for a head coach.
