Michigan State football adds Marco Coleman as its defensive line coach

East Lansing — Mel Tucker has filled the final spot on his coaching staff.

Marco Coleman was named Michigan State’s defensive line coach on Wednesday, rounding out the staff of 10 on-field assistants just weeks after Ron Burton stepped down after serving as the defensive line coach in some capacity since 2013.

“Coach Marco Coleman brings years of college and NFL experience to East Lansing,” Tucker said in a statement. “We’re extremely excited for him to join our family and he is going to help shape future champions.”

Coleman, who will also carry the duty of run-game coordinator for the defense, spent the last three seasons coaching defensive ends and outside linebackers at his alma mater, Georgia Tech.
