Reddit (the font of all knowledge) person following Utah indicates Arbuckle and Mateer were a package deal.  UU was outbid.  Could be wrong, but it smells like a good story :)

Mateer’s best competition was Boise, UW, and Tech. 
 

Damn near ran for 200 yards against Tech. Threw for over 300 yards with 2 TDs and a pick against Boise. Threw for 245 with 3 total TDs against UW. 
 

It’s early, but Mateer might be the best QB in the portal. Arbuckle is better than the falling knife Seth Littrell. To state the obvious, they hired Arbuckle to get Mateer.

Matter would be better than anyone they currently have.

Tech rushing defense - 65th
Boise passing defense - 118th
UW passing defense - 5th (ok that was impressive)

Wikipedia summarized my recollection of Stephenson's ATT tenure quite well...

During his tenure as CEO, AT&T acquired DirecTV for $49 billion in July 2015 and Time Warner for $85 billion in June 2018. According to Drew FitzGerald of The Wall Street Journal, Stephenson has "transformed the phone company he inherited into one of the world's biggest entertainment companies."[8] However, AT&T also failed acquisition of T-Mobile.

On July 1, 2020, Stephenson retired as CEO of AT&T. He was succeeded by then-COO John Stankey.[9] At the time Stephenson announced his departure, it was acknowledged that the acquisitions of DirectTV and Time Warner had by this point resulted in a massive debt burden of $200 billion for the company,[10] forcing the company to cut back on its capital investments.[11] and In December 2020, the Financial Times said Stephenson's "legacy has been stained by poor acquisitions".[12]

They hired Wazzu's OC to get Wazzu's QB.

They then told the Wazzu OC he had to keep OU's entire remaining offensive staff in order to keep their 9th-in-the-SEC class together. To sign a 5* OT, they purposefully kneecapped the guy who is supposed to resurrect Sooner Magic.

Things are great in Norman. Just wonderful.

Uh.....

 

New OC bringing in a better QB and Arnold prolly gold told if he wants to stay on there will be a huge pay cut.

There seem to finally being some talent evaluations going on there.  It's amazing.  In order to keep a subpar QB, they agreed to keep a subpar OC.

I hope it works out for him like I hope it works out for everyone.  He's just not capable of playing the position at even close to an elite level.
