It’s been three weeks since Jonathan Smith was let go from Michigan State, but we’re still hearing about members of his coaching staff.
Two of them have officially been retained by Pat Fitzgerald. Joe Rossi was hired to be the co-defensive coordinator with Max Bullough and James Adams will be back to coach the safeties again. There’s also rumors swirling about the potential retainment of receivers coach Courtney Hawkins, and I think that would be a great move by the new head coach.
Like Mel Tucker’s staff, though, we’re hearing about other schools hiring Smith assistants left and right following the coaching change.
