NORMAN, Okla. — DeMarco Murray was one of the greatest running backs in Oklahoma history.

Now, Murray is headed back to Norman to join Lincoln Riley's staff as the school's running backs coach. The school announced the hiring of Murray on Monday.

Murray began his coaching career last season, coaching running backs at Arizona, where former Oklahoma offensive coordinator Kevin Sumlin is the head coach.
