Rushing spent last season with the Los Angeles Rams as a special teams and defensive consultant. Before that, he spent seven years with the Green Bay Packers. He has also coached at Utah State, Montana State and Boise State.

Rushing played at Washington State, where he was a four-year starter at defensive back.
