Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables announced the hiring of Deland McCullough as the Sooners' running backs coach and LaMar Morgan as the cornerbacks coach.

"I'm incredibly excited about the addition of two fantastic football coaches, great men, great leaders," said Venables. "Our players are going to love learning under them. Both jobs were highly coveted, and we went through exhaustive searches for both positions. Deland and LaMar separated from the pack with their extensive experience, their knowledge and their ability to teach, lead, fit in with our staff and connect on the recruiting trail. There was no compromise in any of those areas and both knocked it out of the park during the interview process. Our players will be the beneficiaries of their leadership, coaching and development.

"These are guys who had several other NFL and college opportunities but chose to come to Norman. They recognize the value of the Oklahoma brand, the players they can recruit and the staff they can align with. They were both looking for a place to call home, a place where they felt they could win a championship and step into an environment where they can win at the highest level, be with great people and coach great players."
