After only being at Arizona for one season, running backs coach DeMarco Murray is headed to Oklahoma.

Sources have indicated to Wildcat Authority that the move has been completed and could be announced as soon as Monday.

Arizona is prepared for the move and will likely interview a handful of coaches before making a decision, but it has not come as a surprise for Kevin Sumlin.

Sources indicate that Oklahoma quickly contacted Murray when an opening emerged and he has always been the clear top target.

Murray was named the replacement for Clarence McKinney, who accepted the head coaching job at Texas Southern before last season. In addition, Murray was Sumlin's first running backs coach that wasn’t McKinney.

Sumlin was a big reason why Murray chose Oklahoma, as he was Oklahoma's co-offensive coordinator during Murray's freshman season with the program in 2007.

While at Oklahoma, Murray was considered to be one of the best players in school history. He finished with 3,685 career rushing yards with 50 touchdowns, 157 career catches with 13 touchdowns, and 1,462 kickoff return yards with two touchdowns.

When Murray entered the NFL Draft in 2011, he was selected in the third round (71st overall) by the Dallas Cowboys.

Murray’s professional career is best known for his production in the 2014 season with the Cowboys.

He set the franchise single season rushing record with 12 games rushing 100+ yards and passed Walt Garrison for seventh on the Cowboys all-time rushing yards list.

Murray also finished the season as the league's top rusher. He was named as a First Team All-Pro and to his second Pro Bowl, while having his second straight 1,000 yard season.

After a few down seasons, Murray posted 1,287 rushing yards on 293 carries in his first year with the Tennessee Titans. His 12 total touchdowns ranked sixth among NFL running backs in 2016.

In March of 2018, Murray was released by the Titans and retired months later, entering a broadcast career with FOX.

“That was the plan, and to get into coaching at 34, 35, later down the road,” Murray said. “This is an opportunity I felt would benefit me individually, and collectively as a team I knew I could come in and help the guys and help this team.

“It was something I wanted to do. If anyone else had called me I probably wouldn’t have taken the job, but knowing Coach Sumlin, knowing what he’s about and the man he is, that was one of the main reasons.”

There's a good chance that if it wasn't Oklahoma calling, Murray would have stayed at Arizona. Sources indicate that the only other place could have been the NFL, but the main interest shown was with the Sooners.
