The Jonathan Smith era may have ended with a win, but Michigan State fans are going to remember the 15 losses. He didn’t have much success in East Lansing, and the general consensus is that people are happy for change, but he did have some highlights — and lowlights.
Michigan State poached Smith originally from Oregon State where he had a lot of success turning his alma mater around, but he didn’t have the same luck in East Lansing. He showed promise during his first season with a quick start, but things seemed to fall apart after a road loss to Boston College — a game that was in the Spartans’ grasp, but slipped away late.
