So, Who Will Be The Next Head Football Coach At Michigan State University?

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2/4/2020, 2:56 pm

Fickell? Narduzzi?

what does Narduzzi's contract look like at Pitt??

Matt Campbell from Iowa State?

as far as national signing day goes, I'm not sure that will have a huge impact. I suspect this has been in the works for a bit and the program has something in place. As Nigel said in the other thread, some/most are already enrolled or signed (though I suspect they could be released?).

sign me up for team Fickell. Love his ties to Ohio, the midwest. Did a great job turning around Cincinnati.

really hoping nobody brings Enos into the conversation. Shocked

I was hoping maybe for Norvell but he's no longer an option. Fickell works.

Luke Fickell the frontrunner to replace Mark Dantonio at Michigan State, sources say

Fickell sounds good to me, but I bet they lift the interim tag off Tressel & and we get 3 more years of driving the program into the ground.

with the timing of this, I kinda have to believe that MSU has to have a plan?

I think we have a plan also. Hopefully it works.

I don't see how the new AD would have a plan unless Hollis left a short list in the desk drawer. If Coach D is involved in the plan, then I'll bet that plan is promote from within. Timing seems to also force promote from within somewhat.

I don't think the timing hurts in finding a new Coach at all. It's February.

by **steveschneider** 2/4/2020, 4:59 pm

My top choices of realistic hires:

1) Luke Fickell

and since the popular choice rarely ever works out

2) that coach from EMU that has that good schtick where his team runs through a brick wall

by **steveschneider** 2/4/2020, 5:00 pm

Would love to have Enos added to the new staff as a QB coach. Also, bring back Barnett.

Look at Bobby Sak tossing out names of coaches when Bobby Sak tries to act like he's not sure what that big stadium between Red Cedar and West Shaw Lane is used for in the fall.

Urban Meyer said he’s sure MSU will hire a great coach. He’s clearly talking about himself.

It’s happening!

by **DWags** 2/5/2020, 8:05 am

Welp, if Fickel is coming, he's doing great for the next coach at Cincy. they just landed a 4 star wide receiver. Good for him, leaving that school with a cupboard full.

Good. He can get four star offensive talent to a team with an anemic offense. I approve.

Not sure I quite understand what Coach D will be doing in the athletic department.

I'm prepared to be underwhelmed with the new hire (but, Dantonio wasn't exactly a big name hire).

It doesn't seem like he's a great fit for that, unless they're just going to trot him out for some alumni events.
