The Providence Journal takes a look at the new coaches on James Perry's new Brown football staff, including former Dartmouth assistant Seitu Smith HERE.

Smith will serve as the Brown quarterback coach this fall. Find his Brown page HERE.
Speaking of former Dartmouth assistant coaches . . .

Ithaca College is doing an exhaustive series of stories under the headline Countdown to Cortaca: The Road to MetLife Stadium, about its famed Cortaca Jug series against Cortland State, which will be played next fall at the home of the New York Giants and Jets. The second part of the 10-part series is built around Dennis Kayser, a '74 Ithaca grad who left an assistant's position under Joe Yukica at Dartmouth in 1986 to take over the Cortland program at age 33 and quickly turned it into a winner.

Here is Kayser's bio from the 1984 Dartmouth media guide:

Kayser handed the Cortland reins over to Dave Murray, another former assistant and now the head coach at Hamilton College, after the 1988 season. He worked for NIKE for the next 13 years before joining the National Football League in 2003, serving as Senior Director of On Field Product until 2016. Today's he's director of Kayser Sports Marketing.
