Earlier last decade, Ties spent two seasons as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Rochester Community and Technical College. Rochester became the second non-scholarship juco program to advance to the national championship game. His 2014 Yellowjacket defense ranked first nationally in sacks (67). In 24 games over two seasons, RCTC also ranked among the national leaders with a combined 53 interceptions and 14 defensive TDs.
