Cowboys expected to keep running backs coach Gary Brown

FRISCO, Texas -- Gary Brown is expected to return as Dallas Cowboys running backs coach, according to sources.

Brown also had interest from the Oakland Raiders and Houston Texans, but opted to remain with the Cowboys, where he has been since 2013.

He has overseen the development of DeMarco Murray and Ezekiel Elliott, who led the NFL in rushing in 2014 and 2016. Brown helped Murray, who was named to the Pro Bowl in 2013 and ’14, and Elliott, who was named a first-team All Pro in 2016, become smarter running backs and identify defensive fronts to improve their ability to hit the hole in the zone running scheme.
