Gus Malzahn coached at Auburn from 2013 to 2020. He then took over at UCF in 2021, bringing some Auburn flavor to Orlando.
Now, he’s reportedly hiring a running back from his time on The Plains to his staff with the Knights.
According to 247Sports, Kam Martin is joining Malzahn’s staff as the Knights’ new running backs coach:

Martin was hired as the RB coach at Texas State in December after spending the 2022 season at Incarnate Word. He helped Incarnate Word put up the nation’s highest-scoring offense. His running backs also helped set the school’s single-season rushing record.
In 2021, he was a recruiting and offensive assistant under Malzahn at UCF. Now he reunites with his former Auburn coach.
