The offensive coaching staff of the Kansas City Chiefs has experienced plenty of change this offseason, and now, the staff reset feels complete with the reported hire of a new running backs coach.
After a seven-year NFL career that featured three Pro Bowl seasons and a 2014 campaign worthy of the Associated Press Offensive Player of the Year award for the Dallas Cowboys, Murray spent one season analyzing college football in 2018 before joining the coaching staff at the University of Arizona.
He quickly moved on in his coaching journey to his alma mater, Oklahoma, where he was once a first-team All-Big 12 running back and developed into a third-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.
Murray will join Chiefs wide receivers coach Chad O’Shea as brand-new position coaches for the franchise, setting a tone for the second stint with Eric Bieniemy as offensive coordinator. Kansas City had requested to interview Las Vegas Raiders running backs coach Deland McCullough, who was formerly in Kansas City occupying that role, but it appears he will continue under the Raiders’ new head coach, Klay Kubiak.
