He stepped away from football for two years, and under Rocky Long, the head coach of New Mexico, he joined San Diego State as a graduate assistant. He was elevated to linebackers coach in three years.
Calvin Munson, an All-Mountain West pick three times, was one of five players from his linebacker unit to be selected.
He received another promotion in 2018, this time to defensive coordinator. Under his leadership, San Diego State improved by thirty spots from the previous year to rank second in total defense in 2018 and third in 2019.
