Soon after being promoted to OU's new head football coach, Lincoln Riley brought in a familiar face in Ruffin McNeill.

Riley and McNeill developed a relationship while assistants on Mike Leach's Texas Tech staff, then McNeill had enough trust in Riley to hire him as his offensive coordinator after taking the head coaching position at East Carolina.
