College football insider Bruce Feldman is reporting a pair of current head coaches have emerged as “strong candidates” for the Michigan State opening.
Feldman is reporting that Kansas head coach Lance Leipold and Washington State head coach Jake Dickert have emerged as strong candidates that Michigan State will pursue. Both Leipold and Dickert are leading teams that are off to good starts this year and have been often linked to the Spartans since Mel Tucker was let go last month.
With both Leipold and Dickert currently serving as head coaches, don’t expect either of them to openly express interest in the Spartans’ job anytime soon. But this is definitely a report that we will need to monitor and see if any additional news will come out over the next few months.
REPORT: Lance Leipold and Jake Dickert have emerged as strong candidates for the Michigan State opening, per @BruceFeldmanCFB.
