- Jonathan Smith took a break from the recruiting trail to weigh in on the program's 20 mid-year enrollees comprised of true freshmen and transfers like Aidan Chiles, Tanner Miller, and Jack Velling.
As a Michigan fan, I believe this coach will get the Spartans back on track! It is truly best for our state when both teams are good. In particular, this guy can coach QB's which votes well for MSU. Seems like a class act and a great hire!
glad to have Coach Smith. hope he’s enjoying his birthday! go green!
I love the job this man is doing. He’s a great friend of mine. Always has been. Can’t wait to hang out with him for years to come. That is if my miserable health issues don’t pop up again.
hope you stay in good heath and can enjoy the great ride we are about to go on! go green!!
I really like when coach Smith said Rossi will run the defense. When your good at one side of the ball it's always best for head coaches to let the opposite side coordinator to run that part of the team.
I'm not a MSU fan or alum but it's tough to underestimate how large an upgrade Coach Smith is from Tucker. It's like they're on different planets.
Dude - his HC record is 34-35. They're not THAT far apart.
Well you put it like that with objective facts, I admit I was wrong. Tucker is better than Smith. Crazy me not distilling the comparison to a single metric because, as we all know, that win-loss is the single and only measure of a coach's acumen Thanks for sharing some light on that. I am sure that all ADs will welcome your incredibly perspicacious insights. Congratulate yourself again. You deserve it. @@EnzoMoresi-mj8bc
Tell me you don’t watch cfb without telling me you don’t 😂
@@Nochillal tell me you're a dumba$s without telling me you're a dumba$s. But then if you're na MSU fan, that's ALL you're telling everyone. 😂🤣
@@EnzoMoresi-mj8bc Oregon State was a dumpster fire that he built from the ground up to a team on the rise…back to back top 25 program in a town out in the middle of nowhere. The PAC12 also has been pretty dang good for a bit now. Kenneth Walker made Mel Tucker famous
Go Green!
Go white!
Go White!
Go green
Comp, I appreciate your direct questions. It appears at this point in order to get direct answers, one needs to ask specific questions. Good job.
He's got a vibe
Happy birthday coach!
the difference between smith and tucker is insane. one is here to win and the other had a vanity priority. this dude has a plan!
He belongs at msu
At the very least, you're going to see a brand new MSU team. If they can finish above .500, he's a winning sign.
I hope he isn’t shy about releasing depth charts

Still wishing it was Urban Meyer
Me too but he's just a little too experienced. As in old. Ten years ago it would have been a great idea.
West Coast guy... Once his QB graduates or enters the draft, then what does Coach Smith do? And if he wins a lot of games with his QB, won't he consider a bigger program, like one in the $EC? He reminds me of Lincoln Riley. Hope I'm mistaken.
Oregon state had a top 50 defense in 2023 and top 10 in 2022… He can definitely bring in another great QB, in fact we are big favorites to land a high 4 star in 2025… you sure your not Oregon state troll?
If he is successful the staff, support, facilities and most important money will all be there...MSU has resources.
“Bigger program from the SEC” 😂😂😂😂
@@noah.conley Thanks for your comment, Noah. No, I'm not an Oregon State troll. I lived in EL, got my Ph.D. in the Breslin Center, and have even met Coach Izzo and his lovely wife. I'm just an old-school B1G guy who believes actions speak louder than words.
To Coach Smith's credit, he kept Harlon Barnett in EL. I read initial reports that the was told to take a hike. I think that was smart. Coach Barnett has the respect of the returning players, so as a continuity matter, Coach Smith made the right decision. He also kept Courtney Hawkins. Not so happy, though, with Malik Carr's transfer to Houston. He was one of the few bright spots last season.
If Washington calls for him, he will really have to make a choice to make.
Washington already has a head coach for the foreseeable future, though. And why make that move? Washington’s moving to the B1G anyway - which MSU is already a member of - and it’s not like State couldn’t offer him just as much as Wash would - if not more - if they did find themselves in a bidding war. And as far as resources are concerned, they’re on equal enough footing - so I doubt that would move the needle.
@@Oziot stay tuned.....
@@samj7681 Hey, I’m not saying it couldn’t happen, but it just seems highly improbable. I get that he coached there years ago, but aside from that, can’t see why he’d abruptly leave MSU for Wash in the near future due to the reasons I mentioned in my previous comment.
@@Oziot I'm not saying anything on you. I'm saying it's very possible because the word is that he isn't interested in being here long term due to the fact the job he really wants may be available in a year or two which is the university of Florida. So we are hearing it's either Brenden Carroll the OC with his dad Pete Carroll as Courtney Morgan's recruiting and general manager job or Jonathan Smith
@@samj7681Gotcha. Appreciate the enlightenment!
Anyone concerned about him blindly handing over the defense to Rossi? That was a bit disconcerting. He didn't have any preference for scheme on D and basically was going to have faith in his DC. Maybe that's how guys like Ryan Day do it as well, but that's certainly not complimentary football.
Michigan State's "home run" hire head coach has a head coaching record of ........34-35 with a bowl record of 1-1. 😂🤣. A perfect fit ......a "home run".
It's what he did this year. All pointing to a coach who's on the rise. He wasn't like the Washington coach that fooled Alabama to take him when all he had was Michael Pennix.
@@kaivrock - "it's what he did this year, a coach on the rise..". Smells strangely like another coach MSU recently hired - no real record of success. Look, you guys are happy, good for you. I'm just pointing out the guy's HC record which is a pretty good indicator of future success.
At Oregon State, yes. I’ve seen plenty of people - mostly Michigan fans - pointing to his losing record to prove a point. But context matters; he took over a program that, during its prior season, only attained one win. And he essentially resurrected them from the dead, as OSU isn’t exactly a powerhouse where winning comes easy. But sure, with the shallow analysis of just his overall record, of course it seems like a lackluster hire.
@@Oziot - there's nothing "contextual" to 34 losses. Nothing. No great coach has that many blown games in such a short period of time. I'm just saying - MSU is happy with a .500 at best coach calling him a "home run" that tracks perfectly with the lack of respect they get and rightly deserve.
@@EnzoMoresi-mj8bc If you feel MSU deserves a “lack of respect” for hiring a coach who has done more with less talent than many of his counterparts and has shown he can build a solid foundation for a program to flourish on, then so be it. Take care, my friend.
