Brown began coaching in 2000 when he accepted a role as a
graduate assistant at his alma mater
Alabama A&M. He continued to coach defensive backs, accepting jobs at
Alabama State and
Texas Southern. After his stint at Texas Southern, Brown moved to coaching in the
FBS, accepting positions at
LSU,
Southern Miss, and
South Carolina. He then took a job as defensive coordinator at
Birmingham Southern. That season the Panthers went 1-9 and Brown left the school, accepting roles at
Alabama State,
Louisville, and
Old Dominion in the years following. In 2020, Brown took a job with
McNeese State but, just days before the start of the spring season, Brown took a job at
Houston. Less than a week later, Brown took a job with the
Pittsburgh Steelers of the
NFL. In 2021, Brown transitioned to the NFL, joining the Pittsburgh Steelers as secondary coach. Over his three-year tenure with the team, Pittsburgh’s defense accumulated 66 interceptions, placing them third in the league in that category during that period. His NFL experience was complemented by his selection as the defensive coordinator for the National team at the 2023 Senior Bowl. In 2025, Brown was hired by the New Orleans Saints as their defensive backs coach. He joins the staff with the objective of improving a pass defense that ranked 27th in the NFL the previous season. == Personal life ==
