Former Auburn great Kevin Greene reportedly named Jets OLB coach

Kevin Greene is coming back to the NFL.

The NFL Hall of Fame linebacker and former Auburn great reportedly will be returning to the league as the outside linebackers coach for the New York Jets.

Greene, 54, previously was the Green Bay Packers outside linebackers coach from 2009-13. He left the team to spend more time with his family.

Greene, a former Auburn walk-on in the early 1980s, recorded 160 sacks – the third most in league history – during his 15-year NFL career. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame last August.
