Ronnie Alexander

The story always was that Ronnie Alexander didn't want to be the head coach at Evangel. He seemed happy as defensive coordinator, and it paid off with championship after championship for the Eagles football team.
In Thursday's edition of The Times, I'll have a lengthy feature on Alexander about his year at the helm. I've also talked to Pat Collins, who hired him at Northeast Louisiana, and Jerry Arledge, who he worked for at Northwestern State. Both have great respect for the Evangel coach, and so do I.
When Dennis Dunn left, I wasn't certain how Alexander would be to communicate with, but he has been great.
