The new running backs coach for the Wisconsin Badgers has some talent to work with as he starts his new job.
43-year-old Al Johnson comes to Madison from the job as a Division Two head coach in Oklahoma for the last four years.
U-W head coach Paul Chryst says Johnson presents a balanced grasp of offensive football and he has a talent for developing relationships with his players.
Johnson is taking the place of coach Gary Brown who was forced to step aside from coaching by health issues.
With sophomore Braelon Allen in his group, he has a chance to achieve excellence.
He could use a couple more backs for the spring football training camp.
