Social Media reacts to Oklahoma firing of Ben Arbuckle

The Oklahoma Sooners fired Ben Arbuckle and promoted Jason Witten to interim offensive coordinator and here's how social media reacted.

On Monday, the University of Oklahoma made a move to shake up its offensive side by removing offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle and promoting tight ends coach Jason Witten as interim offensive coordinator for the remainder of the season. This change comes after a string of issues, with the Sooners having four different offensive coordinators over the past three seasons.

Injuries and a struggling quarterback John Mateer contributed to a disappointing season, with the team ranking near the bottom in scoring and total yards. The reaction on social media varied, with many expressing disappointment in the move but acknowledging the need for a change in leadership. Some believed that Witten's experience and playcalling would benefit the team, while others questioned whether the offensive coordinator is the sole culprit for the team's struggles.
