Michigan State head coach Pat Fitzgerald has been slowly piecing together his coaching staff over the past few weeks, but he still has some work to do with a handful of spots still open.
The Spartans have addressed some big-time positions like offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator already, and Fitzgerald has won a lot of fans over by bringing a Spartan legend home to help lead the linebackers and the defense.
Fitzgerald’s special teams coordinator hire was also an important one as he poached one of the best in the business from Iowa. With the assistant coach salary pool seeing a nice boost from the Jonathan Smith era, it makes sense that Fitzgerald is aiming for the stars.
