Michigan State to Part Ways With Jonathan Smith After Two Seasons

Michigan State has decided to wash its hands of coach Jonathan Smith after just two seasons leading the Spartans’ football program.

According to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Michigan State plans to fire Smith on Sunday, just one day after the Spartans earned their first Big Ten win of the season with a 38-28 victory over Maryland.
