With each passing day, it feels like Pat Fitzgerald’s coaching staff puzzle finds another key piece. The new Michigan State football coach has hired a solid staff thus far, identifying his offensive and defensive coordinators, and a couple other key position coaches.
Fitzgerald has reportedly hired Nick Sheridan as the team’s offensive coordinator, poaching him from Alabama on the same weekend he helped beat Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff. He also re-hired Joe Rossi to be co-defensive coordinator with Max Bullough who was poached from Notre Dame to return home.
James Adams is the safeties coach again after Fitzgerald retained him from Jonathan Smith’s staff along with Rossi, and he also poached LeVar Woods from Iowa as his new special teams coordinator.
