He is a 36-year veteran in the coaching profession, which includes 15 years of NFL experience, according to the school’s press release.
Here is what Brown had to say about joining the staff:
“I’m really excited to be part of the University of Missouri and to go to work with Barry Odom and the talented staff that he’s putting together,” said Brown. “I’ve been very impressed with the success he’s had throughout his career, and I can’t wait to get in and help build on the great defense he put together last season. I’ve always been aware of the great tradition at Mizzou, and that dates back a long time. I’ve seen what kind of passion Mizzou’s fans have for their program, and I’m looking forward to being part of that.”
That leaves just two openings on the Missouri staff:
