Former Dallas Cowboys running backs coach Gary Brown is returning to football after a one-year, health-related absence and taking the same position at Wisconsin.
Wisconsin announced the hire March 25.
Brown coached Cowboys running backs from 2013-19 while working on a staff headed by Jason Garrett, who was forced out after the 2019 season. Brown spent 2020 out of coaching while he battled cancer.
He now moves into the college ranks and takes over for John Settle, who left to become Kentucky’s running backs coach.
