There aren’t many coaches as supportive as Tom Izzo in today’s college athletics.
The Hall of Fame head coach is always going to bat for his fellow coaches, and that includes Michigan State football coach Jonathan Smith. While everyone else seems to have turned their back on the struggling second-year head coach, Izzo has been there to support him through the ups and downs.
On Wednesday, Izzo appeared on Smith’s weekly radio show, urging fans to show up to Spartan Stadium on Saturday and provide a legitimate home-field advantage against the Wolverines.
He also had some positive words for Smith, telling him that “we all go through it” and that the process takes time.
