Like we do when anything important happens, we go to social media, including when Oklahoma hires a new offensive coordinator.
Brent Venables on Monday announced Ben Arbuckle as the Sooners' new offensive coordinator. Fans, pundits, those within the program and more went to X to share their reactions of the news, and here's the best that we saw through Monday night.
First, is Emmett Jones more excited about Arbuckle coming or that Venables said he gets to keep his job as wide receivers coach?
BUCKLE UP, ITS GO TIME‼️‼️

Not a bad day for Emmett jones either, he was fired and then he was re hired
Excited to see what the next 1 hour…
Obviously we had to ask how everyone was feeling about the hire.
I'm happy to overreact in week seven of 2025 like everyone else https://t.co/Ac5QO6T4BW

I can't decide if this is a good or bad thing. (John Mateer is Washington State's QB, by the way.)
John Mateer’s total yards in 2024: 3,965

Oklahoma’s total yards in 2024: 3,870
A reminder that Arbuckle is only 29.
Oklahoma's coordinators are young, young:

Offense - Ben Arbuckle (29 years old)
Defense - Zac Alley (30 years old)
Oklahoma has a Broyles award nominee as their Offensive & Defensive coordinators and both are U30.

You’re probably older than Ben Arbuckle.

And now let's hear from the man himself. Wait. ...
If you thought Zac Alley sounding like Brent Venables was fun, you’re going to love who Ben Arbuckle sounds like: pic.twitter.com/RwDsdbDsvb
