Good news for Michigan State and Jonathan Smith, bad news for archrival Wolverines, S

“Moore is ranked so low only because he doesn’t have enough overall experience as a head coach,” Fornelli wrote. “However, he already has wins over Ohio State and Penn State on his resume, and there aren’t many coaches ranked above him who can say the same! This is a fascinating situation for Moore because on one hand, it won’t be easy to step out of Jim Harbaugh’s considerable shadow, and on the other, he’s taking over a team that won a national title. Sure, some key players are gone, but many key players are back, too. Oh, and everyone seems to be writing off the Wolverines. We’ve never seen a team that tries to disrespect, have we?!”

Jonathan Smith of Michigan State, meanwhile, finished in 7th place.

“(S)mith’s 34-35 overall record with Oregon State may not blow you away, but the Beavers have gone 25-13 the past three years and produced plenty of NFL talent in that time,” Fornelli wrote. “Now Smith gets a chance at Michigan State, a school with deeper pockets than those available in Corvallis, Ore. Smith has an innovative mind and is a smart playmaker. He’s also an excellent quarterback developer, a combination that has long proven valuable in a football coach. The Spartans haven’t drafted a quarterback since Connor Cook in 2016, and he’s the only one taken since Kirk Cousins ​​in 2012. I guarantee you we’ll see much better quarterback development under Smith than Michigan State has had in the last decade.”
