EAST LANSING — Michigan State plans to interview two candidates for its open head football coaching job this weekend, a source with knowledge of the search told the Free Press on Friday night.

The source spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the search.

Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell, considered the front-runner, and Colorado coach Mel Tucker each will meet with MSU’s search committee as they look to replace Mark Dantonio, who retired suddenly Tuesday after 13 seasons.
