Press Release: Oklahoma Sooners Overhaul Coaching Staff for 2025 Season
Norman, OK – Facing an uphill battle after two lackluster seasons, Oklahoma Sooners head coach Brent Venables has initiated a comprehensive overhaul of the football program. Following a disappointing 6-7 season and a less-than-stellar introduction to the Southeastern Conference (SEC), the Sooners recognized the need for urgent changes.
In response, Venables reassessed his coaching strategies back in October, leading to the dismissal of the offensive coordinator mid-season. The university responded by investing substantial resources into revamping the coaching staff. Oklahoma hired new offensive and defensive coordinators while also reinforcing the front office with experienced personnel, including former NFL executive Jim Nagy.
"This is not just about improving today; it’s about building a successful future," said Oklahoma athletics director Joe Castiglione. With the Sooners in the same conference as rivals like Texas, who recently made their mark by reaching the College Football Playoff, the pressure for renewal was palpable.
Key to the transition is the addition of Ben Arbuckle, a rising star in offensive coaching, who previously led record-breaking offenses at Washington State. The Sooners also secured top talent through the transfer portal, landing promising quarterback John Mateer and running back Jadyn Ott, significantly bolstering their offensive capabilities.
Venables aims to elevate Oklahoma’s position in the SEC, focusing on cultivating elite quarterback play, a hallmark of the program’s history. As the 2025 season approaches, expectations are high and the Sooners’ ambitious changes reflect their determination to reclaim their status as national contenders.
With a challenging schedule ahead, the Sooners look to revitalize their program under the new leadership and a fresh roster, hoping to once again shine in college football.
