It’s only been a week, but some Michigan State fans are impatient about Pat Fitzgerald’s coaching staff. The Max Bullough news on Wednesday gave him more time to focus on his offensive coaching staff, and he’s already making some moves.
Although no one has been hired on the offensive staff yet, Fitzgerald made an important decision regarding his staff for the 2026 season.
According to Football Scoop, Fitzgerald will not be retaining Jonathan Smith’s running backs coach Keith Bhonapha and he’s parting ways with Michigan State.
While Bhonapha didn’t do a bad job, he wasn’t regarded as one of the top coaches on Smith’s staff like Courtney Hawkins or Joe Rossi were.
