  "account": "Jason Witten has been named interim offensive coordinator for the Oklahoma Sooners, taking over from Ben Arbuckle. Witten, who has been in his role for slightly over a year, has limited play-calling experience at the high school level. However, his NFL playing career was marked by a Hall of Fame career over 17 seasons, with his career reception numbers placing him fourth all-time in league history. Witten was known for his consistency and durability, playing fewer than 15 games in only one full season of his career.\n\nAt Legacy Christian, where he served as head coach, Witten's offenses averaged 44.5 points per game over the final five years of his tenure. The Sooners have praised Witten's leadership, cohesion, and improvement of the tight end position. His communication skills are highly regarded, and he has built strong trust and relationships with both the coaching staff and players. Witten's play-calling style is expected to be reminiscent of his time as a player, providing the Sooners with a tough, knowledgeable, and aggressive offensive mind.",
