Kevin Brown is in his first season as the Cardinals’ wide receivers coach after spending five years on staff with Larry Coker at UTSA. Brown will take over a young crop of LU receivers for the 2017 season.
 
Originally hired as a UTSA’s tight ends coach for the 2011 season, Brown was eventually promoted to offensive coordinator. He spent four years as the offensive coordinator, while coaching the Roadrunners’ quarterbacks. He helped a very young UTSA program record above .500 records (8-4 in 2012 and 7-5 in 2013) during his first two seasons on campus. During his time in San Antonio, Brown’s offense also produced eight all-conference selections.
 
Brown has a very strong knowledge of the Southland Conference. Prior to joining the Roadrunners’ staff, Brown spent four seasons at Texas State where he coached wide receivers and the Bobcats kickoff return team. During his time in San Marcos, Brown helped coach the Bobcats to a Southland Conference title and an automatic berth in the FCS playoffs.
 
The Bobcats’ run to the Southland title in 2008 marked one of the best single-season turnarounds in the nation. Texas State went from just four wins the year prior to eight during its run to the title. During his short time in San Marcos, Brown produced four All-Southland receivers.
 
Brown’s first coaching stint came at his alma mater, where he spent two years working as an offensive graduate assistant at TCU. During that time, the Horned Frogs won the 2005 Houston Bowl and the 2006 Poinsettia Bowl.
 
Following a standout prep career, Brown spent four seasons as a receiver at TCU where he worked his way into the starting lineup during his junior year. During his four years on campus, the Horned Frogs won two WAC titles and a Conference USA championship and played in four bowl games.
 
Brown received his bachelor’s degree in business administration from TCU in 2002. He also has two master’s degrees from TCU – Master of Education (2004) and Master of Liberal Arts (2006). He, and his wife Erika, have been married for 10 years.
