Oklahoma Sooners head coach Brent Venables has made a decision regarding quarterback John Mateer following the dismissal of the team's offensive coordinator. The move comes after Oklahoma's 14-6 victory over the New Mexico Lobos at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on September 19, 2026.
Mateer, wearing number 10, was photographed discussing a play with Venables during the game. The Sooners' coaching staff has not publicly disclosed the specifics of the decision, but the quarterback's role appears to be a focal point after the offensive coordinator's departure.
The firing of the offensive coordinator marks a significant shift for the Oklahoma offense, and Mateer's status will be closely watched as the season progresses.
