Winding road leads Grambling State University's Brown home

Grambling, LA - Grambling State offensive coordinator Vyron Brown has been a traveling man.

Since he served as the running backs coach at Alabama State in December's Southwestern Athletic Conference Championship Game, Brown worked at two other SWAC schools before landing at the place he calls home.

"Shreveport and Grambling are home for me," said Brown, a 1997 Woodlawn High School graduate.

When he returned for his second tenure at the head of the GSU program, head coach Doug Williams quickly called Brown to fill his offensive coordinator opening. Brown was just as quick to accept.

"I was at Alcorn for about a month when coach Williams got the job," Brown said. "He told coach (Melvin) Spears, I'm going to call and ask him if he wants to come home. That was a no-brainer for myself."

Williams likes to say Grambling is family and Brown fits...
