The running back position has been one of the most important at Michigan State for decades. The Spartans have had some legendary running backs come through the program from Lorenzo White to TJ Duckett to Kenneth Walker III. Pat Fitzgerald has an important hire to make at running backs coach in order to get the position back to where it belongs.
One Spartan legend is willing to take that pressure on his shoulders.
Shortly after it was reported that Keith Bhonapha would not be back at Michigan State on Fitzgerald's staff, a Michigan State legend lobbied for himself to be the next running backs coach.
