First alum to coach an NFL team? Any other time, we'd all be celebrating this. And I think ultimately we all will.

Nope. Ray Malavasi was also an alum.

Edit to add: He was coach of the Rams when they lost to the Steelers in Super Bowl XIV.

Judge might be the first former player to be a NFL head coach but I'm not certain of that.

Malavasi didn't play for MSU but was a student assistant coach when Murray Warmath was coach in '52 after leaving Army after the 1951 cheating scandal: Link.

Incidentally, Warmath was an assistant coach at Army when Malavasi was a student and on the Cadets' team.
