Wolf Pack loses CB coach Courtney Viney to another school

The Wolf Pack is in the market for a cornerbacks coach.

Courtney Viney, who was considered an up-and-comer when Jay Norvell hired him on his initial assistant staff last season, won't return to the team for the 2018 campaign, Nevada announced Tuesday.

The Wolf Pack said Viney is moving to another institution in an off-the-field role.

“We thank Courtney for his time here and wish him the best,” Norvell said in a news release.

Viney's departure means the Wolf Pack will have an entirely new secondary staff after safeties coach Matt Kirk wasn't retained following last season. He was replaced by UNLV's David Lockwood.

Nevada was Viney's first full-time assistant job. Viney played at UCLA, when Norvell was the Bruins' offensive coordinator, and New Mexico State before a brief career in the Arena Football League. He helped coach Fresno’s Central East High before serving as a graduate assistant and special teams quality control coach position at Oklahoma.

At 27, Viney was the youngest Wolf Pack assistant in the school’s FBS era (since 1992) and the fifth youngest in the Mountain West last season.

Norvell sang Viney's praises when he hired him, saying: "He's so positive out here, so much energy all of the time. He’s out here with his cleats on. We have a couple of coaches who still like to wear their cleats to practice. Very intelligent guy, very close to his players, always has a great relationship with them. Guys gravitate to him because of his positive spirit.”
