LORMAN, Mississippi -- To complete the 2018 coaching staff, the Alcorn State University football program announced the employment of Chris Cash.Cash, who played five seasons in the NFL, will be coaching the defensive backs at Alcorn with an emphasis on the safeties.
"I'm excited to come in and be a positive influence on the young men on the team. I want to not only win ball games, but also develop the student-athletes and help them become productive members of society," Cash said. "I live by the four C's of success: communication, being committed, consistency and confidence. If you have those four C's, you'll be able to succeed in anything you do."

"Coach Cash has been either playing as, or working with defensive backs his entire career. His knowledge of the position will greatly benefit our student-athletes."
Cash graduated from USC in 2002 after playing for head coaches Paul Hackett and Pete Carroll. He earned Pac-10 All-Conference honors as a senior.
