Aidan Chiles and Michigan State football are gearing up for what might be the most important season of Jonathan Smith's career.
The second-year head coach has proven he can turn a program around (Oregon State), but he has to do the same with one that expects to win more than 6-7 games. Expectations at Michigan State far exceed those are Oregon State, and Smith feels the pressure. He knows that he has to likely impress new athletic director J Batt if he wants to stick around.
That starts with a winning season in 2025.
Fortunately, it feels like the offense is going to take a massive step forward.
