Paul Chryst turns to NFL ranks to hire new running backs coach

The University of Wisconsin football program named Gary Brown, who has a history in the NFL as a coach and player, as its running backs coach.

Brown replaces John Settle, who left for Kentucky earlier this month.

Brown was the running backs coach for the Dallas Cowboys from 2013-19. He sat out last season while battling cancer, according to a story in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

“Gary is really an impressive person. Everyone I know that has worked with Gary speaks very highly of him and has loved working with him,” UW coach Paul Chryst said in a statement Thursday.
