Michigan State football fans are happy this week. Why? Because there’s no looming game to ruin their weekend. It’s bye week, and fans could not be more excited to tune in to watch Tom Izzo’s team on Saturday night instead of Jonathan Smith’s.
Speaking of Smith, the second-year head coach finds himself on the hot seat with just three games left in the regular season, sitting on a 3-6 overall record.
That hot seat has caused a lot of fans to look elsewhere for help. Fans have been piecing together “candidates to replace Smith” lists, and one name seems to come up often: Brent Key.
