The Green Bay Packers have brought in former Illinois coach Ron Zook to assist with the training of their special teams unit.

Zook has been out of coaching work since 2011, where he made headlines in his final season for pushing his side to a 6-0 record, before losing his final six games in charge to finish 6-6.

It has been reported that Zook has been working in a Florida-based bank since his departure from coaching, but will now resume a football-based role working with special teams coordinator Shawn Slocum.

The new Packers coach has NFL experience with the likes of the New Orleans Saints, Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
