NIU football: Lynch adjusting to life as Huskies' running backs coach

DeKALB – When the Northern Illinois football team was running team drills, Jordan Lynch stood 10 yards behind the offense with his arms crossed and a whistle around his neck.

He looked like Coach Jordan Lynch.

The first-year running backs coach and the Huskies completed their third practice of the spring season on a windy Friday night at Huskie Stadium.

"I'm still trying to get my coaching attire, I'm going to wear a visor soon," Lynch laughed. "It's a different feeling, but it's good."

Lynch, who recently walked away from his playing career to take the coaching position with his alma mater, had plenty of energy on Friday night.
