Just weeks after accepting the running backs / special teams coordinator job at Auburn, veteran NFL assistant Rich Bisaccia is returning to the league.

While taking two jobs in a matter of weeks is sometimes difficult to do, it has paid off for a number of coaches recently.

Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn announced today that Scott Fountain will be promoted from an off-the-field capacity to tight ends / special teams coordinator. Fountain served the last four years as the director of player personnel under Gene Chizik.

Tim Horton will shift from tight ends to running backs, which is the same position Horton coached the last several years at Arkansas.

Bisaccia will join the Dallas Cowboys staff under Jason Garrett as the special teams coordinator.  It will be the third NFL organization Bisaccia has joined since last coaching at the college level at Ole Miss under David Cutcliffe.

Bisaccia won a Super Bowl with Jon Gruden is Tampa, where he worked with Monte Kiffin, the new defensive coordinator in Dallas.
