The Los Angeles Rams have added another former Georgia running back, but this time as a member of the coaching staff.
Thomas Brown, who played running back at Georgia from 2004-07, has been hired by the Rams to coach the running backs in Los Angeles.
That includes Todd Gurley, Georgia’s superstar back from 2012-14.
Brown last worked as South Carolina’s running backs coach in 2019 and was also Miami’s offensive coordinator from 2016-2018.
In 2015, he was Georgia’s running backs coach as well, one year after Gurley left for the NFL.
Though Brown never coached Gurley in Athens, the two of them are close friends, said Bruce Feldman, who first reported the news.
Both coached by Mark Richt, Brown (4 seasons) and Gurley (3 seasons) are two of the best backs to wear the red and black this century. During Brown’s career, he rushed for 2,646 yards and 23 touchdowns on 529 touches. Gurley’s career saw him rush for 3,285 yards on 510 carries. He also added 36 touchdowns.
