Michigan State football makes splash, agrees to deal with Cass Tech's Thomas Wilcher

Special to Detroit Free Press

Four months ago, when affirming his goal was to coach college football, Detroit Cass Tech coach Thomas Wilcher told the Free Press:

“I guess I’ve got to find someone who will believe in me.”

That someone is Michigan State football coach Mel Tucker.

Wilcher, one of the most successful coaches in the state, has been hired by Tucker and apparently will serve as an analyst on the football staff, according to multiple sources who wished to remain anonymous because the deal has not yet been announced.
