After losing to Michigan for a second year in a row to fall to 3-5 on the season with four tough games remaining, Jonathan Smith took to the podium for his post-Michigan presser, and fans were hoping for something — anything — in the form of fire from the second-year coach.
Instead, it was more “not good enough” quotes followed by an “it wasn’t for lack of effort” notion. While those statements are true, Michigan State just wasn’t on the same level as Michigan — again.
And that’s not good enough here.
What also isn’t good enough is the coaching that the program has gotten over the past four years.
