Tim McDonald was the head coach at Edison High School and was great at coaching up the secondary, hence McDonald's rise as a prospect coming out of high school.

Fast forward to now, Tim is the secondary coach at Fresno State where they produced 22 interceptions this season, which I believe was second in the nation.
Also, he is responsible for helping Phillip Thomas (S) become leader in picks in the country with 8.

I think this is not only a testament to how coachable TJ may be, but also how good of a coach Tim is for the secondary.

Dallas should def look at TJ as he may drop, but also keep an eye out for Phillip Thomas(BALLHAWK).

Tim McDonald, safety, was voted to the pro-bowl 6-times, for two different teams.

That is some great info right there! Thank you for that little bit! Good stuff. Makes me really want to know more about TJ
