I would guess that this years defense has better metrics than 2023
I could be wrong
Rumor is Pat Fitzgerald
Michigan state should be perfect for Pat given both of their backgrounds

Who knows, they had that upward vive like App State, but both seemed to have bottomed out.

I wouldn’t be surprised if MSU kicks Fleck’s tires. Maybe Heather wants to be closer to home. CBS says Pat Fitzgerald is a name attached to the job.
Also hearing Brian Kelly rumors
Who, if you can get over the fact he sent a kid to his death, is a better coach than Fitzgerald

Brother, I would swim up the Mississippi with a 45 pound plate tied to my balls for the gophers to have the season Lane is having.
2019 gophers were 9-0 vs non top 15 teams
1-2 vs top 15 teams
Ole Miss was 10-0 vs non top 15 teams
1-1 vs top 15 teams
Second best win is Tulane
Not sure about what?
The wisdom of promoting a coordinator.

Anything like the way it worked out for Claeys and people will be slurping this dude for a decade
I’m wondering if he keeps the sexual harassment

Fitzgerald to MSU is really great news for the rest of the Big Ten.
There are like 5 coaches on this planet that could live up to that delusional admins expectations.
They’ll be doing the same thing 3 years from now.

He'd be ok if he has a descent Offensive Coordinator, maybe Smith can stick around and do that, that's his specialty lol. Wouldn't be surprised if Smith isn't sniffing around that UCLA job, he's a SoCal guy.

He was the DC under Saban at Alabama for 4 years before taking the Ole Miss DC job. Those are the types of coordinators who get promoted.

It was a risk he was willing to take.

Looks like it, but UCLA has a couple clear targets while Penn St is still an enigma.
Rumors are Josh Heupel for Penn State. Then perhaps Lane Kiffen to Tennesee.

LSU hires Lane Kiffin away from Ole Miss |
Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin is leaving the Rebels for LSU, in a stunning and unprecedented case of a college football coach taking another job while his current team is in contention to win a national title.
Lane Kiffin makes unprecedented Ole Miss-to-LSU exit official, leaving Rebels before CFPKiffin’s future has been a lingering, high-profile drama throughout the season.

I would do it with a 25 lb plate for a 2019 season.

Kind of surprised Sparty wanted to take on Fitzgerald’s baggage, given their experiences with Mel Tucker and his sexual harassment allegations, and the sexual assault conviction of Dr Larry Nassar. Fitz was found to be not directly responsible for the hazing at Northwestern, but he did acknowledge that it occurred in his program. I guess the Michigan State board of regents has a higher risk tolerance than most schools.
