Defensive coordinator Grady Brown leaves McNeese to coach secondary at Houston

McNeese defensive coordinator Grady Brown has left the program just ahead of the Southland Conference’s spring football schedule to coach cornerbacks at Houston.

Having never coached a game in his 13 months with the Cowboys, Brown came to Lake Charles after one season as co-defensive coordinator at Old Dominion.
