Two coaches were publicly named as new hires under Michigan State’s Pat Fitzgerald on Saturday afternoon. The first was quarterbacks coach Mike Bajakian, and the second was an already-rumored cornerbacks coach Hank Poteat.
There had been no talk about a quarterbacks coach before Saturday because some, including myself, assumed that would be new offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan’s job.
Poteat, on the other hand, was rumored as the cornerbacks coach for weeks.
On Saturday, Justin Thind of 247Sports reported that Michigan State would officially be hiring Poteat from Iowa State.
