Ron Brown has a new job in the Nebraska football program. 

The Husker assistant coach and, more recently, off-field staffer will go forward as a senior offensive analyst for head coach Scott Frost. That’s his new title on the school’s official staff directory. 

Brown has been with Frost since Frost took the head coaching job here in December 2017 and until recently served as the director of player development. 

Frost hired Marcus Castro-Walker recently for that job, which he said is an “all-encompassing role.” 

Brown, of course, has a long history as a coach and will be in more of a football-centric role as a senior offensive analyst. He coached tight ends at NU from 2008-10 and then running backs from 2011-14, including standouts like Rex Burkhead and Ameer Abdullah. Overall, he spent 24 years as an assistant coach at Nebraska. 

As an analyst, Brown can be involved in meetings, developing scheme and a wide swath of other responsibilities, but he cannot coach on the field. If he were going to work with a specific position, running backs would be a good bet given his past work with the group, running backs coach Ryan Held’s extra responsibilities as NU’s recruiting coordinator and the fact that new offensive analyst Keanon Lowe will likely work mostly with wide receivers.
