EAST LANSING — Harlon Barnett is leaving Michigan State to become Florida State’s defensive coordinator, according to multiple reports.
Barnett agreed to join Willie Taggart’s staff with the Seminoles on Friday morning, both 247Sports.com and Fox Sports reporter Bruce Feldman reported. It is the second time in three years that Mark Dantonio will lose a defensive coordinator, though Barnett’s co-defensive coordinator Mike Tressel remains on staff.
