DeMarco Murray is expected to be named the running backs coach at Oklahoma, his alma mater, early this week, after a little over a year in the same capacity at Arizona.

Murray played for the Sooners from 2007-10. He was recruited by Kevin Sumlin, who last January persuaded Murray to leave the broadcast booth to coach the Wildcats’ running backs.

247Sports first reported Murray’s move Sunday.

Murray coaxed excellent production out of the UA running backs this past season despite injuries to that group and the offensive line.
