Alexander the Georgia Tech mentor and the Four Horsemen lore
The piece celebrates Bill Alexander of Georgia Tech as a coaching thinker beyond star players. It notes his 25 years directing Tech after Heisman, his seven conference titles, 1942 coach of the year award, and his emphasis on deception and speed. It then recalls the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame and debates over blocking and roles, with anecdotes from Don Miller and Elmer Layden.
