Oklahoma has fired offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle after less than two seasons, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Monday.
The Sooners, which dropped to 4-4 after a 42-25 home loss to South Carolina, rank next-to-last in the SEC in yards per game and touchdowns scored.
Arbuckle came to Norman after two successful seasons at Washington State where he was the youngest primary coordinator in the Power 4 at the time (age 27). His quarterback with the Cougars, John Mateer, transferred to Oklahoma the same month Arbuckle was hired.
Mateer gained buzz as a Heisman Trophy candidate early last season before a thumb injury sidelined him and continued to impact his performance.
