I know Clark Lea is going to be a hot name this off season, but as a Spartan, it seems risky to hire a coach like this. Turns out, Mel Tucker was less of a great coach and more just got lucky pulling Kenneth Walker out of the portal. One guy can make your career. Also, I'm looking forward to your write up on MSU when we finally get around to firing Smith.
The Lea-Tucker comparison is a bit unfortunate for Lea based on Tucker's end to his career, but I can see it. Transcendent players like Pavia and Walker make it hard to peg if the player is the one leading the culture or if it's the coach. I think Lea's a better overall coach than Tucker, but those concerns are certainly valid.
Stay tuned for the MSU Shortlist if Smith gets going. I, for one, feel like college football is better when Michigan State is good, so if Smith can't get it done then someone else needs to get in there
