Jonathan Smith is already bringing back an old tradition to the Michigan State football program later this month with the Meet the Spartans event for fans, and he's bringing back some "good old days" vibes.
The Mark Dantonio days were some of the best in program history, and he had the Meet the Spartans event every year as well as one of the best assistant coaching staffs during his run elite run from 2012-15. His staff fell short in the later seasons of his tenure, but he still had some legends stick around like strength and conditioning coach Ken Mannie.
