Oklahoma expected to fire Ben Arbuckle: Sooners to part with OC as offense continues to sputter in 2026 season

Oklahoma is parting ways with offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle following a disappointing 42-25 home defeat to South Carolina. The decision comes as the team struggles significantly, currently ranking 15th in the SEC for both total and scoring offense.

Arbuckle, who joined the program in 2024 alongside quarterback John Mateer, has overseen a unit that has failed to find consistency throughout the current campaign. This move marks another shift in the coaching staff under Brent Venables, who has faced a turbulent tenure characterized by frequent personnel changes and a decline in offensive performance since Jeff Lebby's departure.

With a 4-4 record, the Sooners now face a challenging schedule that includes upcoming matchups against Ole Miss, Missouri, and Florida as they attempt to avoid missing a bowl game for the first time since 1998.
