Wisconsin is set to announce John Settle as its running backs coach, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The newspaper, citing a source close to the program, reported that Settle would return to the school, where he coached running backs from 2006 to 2010.

Thomas Brown left the job two weeks ago to take the same position at Georgia, his alma mater. The 28-year-old Brown, considered one of the Badgers’ top recruiters, was retained, along with defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, by new coach Paul Chryst from the staff of Gary Andersen.

Settle coached running backs in 2014 at Pitt for Chryst, with whom he worked during their previous time in Madison. Settle played at Appalachian State and with the Atlanta Falcons. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 1988 and coached for Carolina and Cleveland in the NFL between stops at Wisconsin and Pitt.

Settle, 49, was not retained by the Panthers’ new coach, Pat Narduzzi.

Wisconsin state law requires a waiting period before the school can announce Settle’s hiring.

The hire of Settle completes Chryst’s staff. The Badgers are scheduled to open spring practice on March 15.
