Folks, the dream may be dead before it ever really began. Michigan State fans have been hoping for Urban Meyer ever since Mel Tucker was fired back in 2023. The “Raise the Flag” movement lasted for what felt like an eternity before Michigan State hired Jonathan Smith.
Rumor has it that Alan Haller went behind the donors’ backs to make the hire when they wanted Urban to be the next coach. It was a move that, looking back, really hurt the program.
Now, Smith doesn’t have a ton of donor support and the program looks ready to move on from him after an 8-12 start to his coaching career in East Lansing.
