As a lifelong supporter of Oklahoma University football, it has become increasingly frustrating to watch our beloved team underperform due to avoidable coaching decisions. The issues at hand are not just apparent to a few critics but echoed across the thousands of fans who want what's best for our team and the reputation of Oklahoma University.

One of the primary concerns has been Ben Arbuckle’s decisions during crucial matches. His coaching style, while having potential, has repeatedly shown to lack the adaptability needed for our team to thrive in high-pressure situations. Statistics indicate that since his involvement, the team's performance metrics have significantly declined, which isn't what we expect from a program with such a rich history of success.

Furthermore, John Mateer’s on-field performances this season have been particularly disappointing. Despite numerous opportunities to prove himself, Mateer’s contribution has not only been lackluster but detrimental to the overall team morale and performance. The benching of Mateer could allow other promising players the chance to step up and make a positive impact.

To restore the legacy of Oklahoma University's football team, we need to make tough decisions now. We urge the university's board and athletic department to take decisive action by dismissing Coach Arbuckle from his position and benching John Mateer for the remainder of the season. By doing so, we can re-align the team’s trajectory towards future triumphs, ensuring that every player and supporter feels proud to be associated with Oklahoma University.

Join us in calling upon the decision-makers at Oklahoma University to prioritize success, integrity, and the spirit of competition. Sign this petition to help bring the necessary changes our team desperately needs. Together, we can turn the tide and create a winning future for Oklahoma University’s football program.
