Lincoln Riley on return of Chip Viney:
"This an important hire, and a really great hire for our entire program. Courtney has great knowledge of and experience with Oklahoma, our program, our coaches, our staff. He's just an absolutely gifted and tremendous recruiter. He gained a lot of experience both here and at Nevada, and has excellent ties all over the country, as well as a great eye for talent. We think he's going to add to what's been an already successful recruiting department and we're thrilled to welcome him, Whitney and their children back to Norman.
Chip Viney on return to Oklahoma:
"First and foremost, this is a great opportunity for my family," said Viney. "Moreover, I truly, truly believe in Coach Riley and the staff and the direction they're headed. What Coach Riley is doing with the program is truly spectacular and is going to be special. It's definitely something that I want to be a part of. Getting an opportunity to work for a great coach is a blessing.
"It means a lot to me to come back to family," Viney added, "I mean from the head ball coach to the Sooner faithful. Being away for a year and a half and gaining the experience that I did, I'd never trade that. But this is home. We are excited to come back and rejoin the family."
