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. He signed a seven-year contract to become Michigan State’s coach before the 2024 season after the Mel Tucker era came to a messy close. Per Thamel, Smith will be owed $33 million with the departure.
