Report: Arizona to hire former college, NFL star DeMarco Murray as running backs coach

The Arizona Wildcats have reportedly found their new running backs coach, tapping a recently retired NFL standout with ties to coach Kevin Sumlin for the job.

Michael Lev of the Arizona Daily Star is reporting that DeMarco Murray, a former NFL all-pro rusher, will be named as Arizona’s RBs coach. He will replace Clarence McKinney, who left to become head coach at Texas Southern last month.

Murray, 30, spent the past year as a college football analyst for Fox Sports after ending a seven-year pro career.
