Michigan State football has a new defensive line coach for the second straight year.
Mel Tucker on Wednesday announced the hire of Diron Reynolds, who spent the past seven seasons coaching the defensive line at Stanford. The 51-year-old Reynolds replaces Marco Coleman, who returned to his alma mater, Georgia Tech, after one season with the Spartans.
“I've known Diron Reynolds for more than 15 years — he's one of the best coaches in the business,” Tucker said in a statement. “He has an impressive pedigree having worked for some of the top coaches in all of football, including Tony Dungy, Leslie Frazier, David Shaw and Jim Caldwell, and has coached in both the Super Bowl and College Football Playoff.
