Cowboys Make It Official With New RBs Coach Gary Brown
The Dallas Cowboys made it official with Gary Brown on Monday, announcing him as the team’s new running backs coach.
Brown replaces Skip Peete, who was the first member of the Dallas staff to be canned following a second consecutive 8-8 season, and for obvious reasons.

After an eight-year playing career in the NFL, Brown began his coaching career at Lycoming College, before moving on to Susquehanna University and, finally, Rutgers. After Rutgers, he made the jump to the NFL, and served as the Cleveland Browns running backs coach for the past four seasons.
