Former UNC star, NFL player Ryan Switzer helping coach home-state Mountaineers

After a four-year NFL career, West Virginia native Ryan Switzer retired due to injuries, but he's switching his helmet for a whistle and was invited to help head coach Neal Brown and the Mountaineers during preseason camp. During his time at UNC, Switzer also worked with current WVU running backs coach Chad Scott, so there was a built-in relationship. (Yahoo! Sports)
