MSU DB coach to Cal
- Thread starter dayday
- Start date
Maybe when he took his shirt off at the Griz game he figured Cal's weather would make that process easier

Completely overhauled our secondary. Time to bring back Joey Thomas!
Classic from last recruiting period

Most scandalous recruiting award goes to @GAlexander21 from @montanastate He's new and doing foul already. Get out of LA trick ass

All recruiting and "shirt off" observations aside, the man can coach a secondary.

8th in the league in passing defense. Granted this isn't the only mark and there are many factors one can look at, but it's a good start.

Yes I am sure. I watched a secondary for two straight years (2014-2015) play absolutely awful football (granted they did not have a pass rush either). This year we didn't have a pass rush once again but our secondary transformed into a unit that had some moxie. They played with better technique and they were held to a higher standard to see the field.
And if you want to play the "passing yards" game, here are some stats:
2015: Brady Gustafson - 23/39 for 353 yards with 4 TDs/1 INT
2016: Brady Gustafson - 16/31 for 192 yards with 1 TD/1 INT
So was the MSU secondary worst to first in one year under Alexander? Absolutely not. Were they improved? Abso-freakin-lutely. He also helped turn Bryson McCabe into a better overall safety as he will be one of the best ones in the league next season.

Might be wishful thinking but him leaving with only a week and a half left is a better scenario than him leaving in December. The commits have come together over the past three months. Jalen Cole and Tyrel Thomas were up on their official visit this past weekend and it went well. However, it would be fools gold to guarantee they won't leave because ridiculous things happen the final week before signing day. What you also hope for is that they don't de-commit during the 3-day "no contact" period before signing day.
Seemed like a bright secondary coach on the news.
He was a heck of a player himself.
Big loss for the cats.
