On Tuesday night, news came out that WSU was close to hiring their new offensive coordinator. According to numerous reports, Jake Dickert has zeroed in on Western Kentucky co-offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle. The 27-year-old appears set to replace Eric Morris in the position for the Cougs following Morris’ departure to become the new head coach at North Texas. With the move, Arbuckle would become the youngest coordinator in college football’s power 5.
Arbuckle, a former college quarterback at division II West Texas A&M, just completed his fourth total season as a college football coach and his first as a coordinator.
