Honestly, I wish Fitz the best. I do think he has the ability to be a great coach. I think he would have improved in that area taking a couple seasons to DC some place else (ideally someplace where they have good offense so he could learn via osmosis), but maybe he's ready in East Lansing.

Couch: 3 quick takes on Michigan State firing football coach Jonathan Smith and hiring Pat Fitzgerald

There are some similarities between Jonathan Smith and Pat Fitzgerald, but also stark differences. Fitzgerald appears to be a better fit for MSU.

Also, between yesterday’s result at the Big House, and now today’s news out of East Lansing, what an absolute nightmare of a last 24 hours or so to be named Sherrone Moore.

The Pinkertons should move to East Lansing.

And I’d bet the decision makers in East Lansing also did a thorough vetting of this new candidate to see why he was let go from his last job because the last thing MSU needs is another scandal related to the football team.

@statenews.com

The Jonathan Smith era of Michigan State football has officially come to an end. After 24 games leading the program, Smith has been fired, relieving him of his coaching duties in East Lansing, the athletic department confirmed Sunday.

statenews.com

Jonathan Smith fired after two seasons at MSU - The State News

Michigan State fired head coach Jonathan Smith after a 4-8 season marked by an eight-game losing streak, growing fan frustration and public criticism from prominent alumni like Magic Johnson. The move ends Smith’s two-year tenure at 9-15 and launches another coaching search for a program now seeking its fourth head coach since 2019.

At least when PF was in Evanston, he could sell tradition as an alum and use the academic standards to explain away the bad seasons. He hasn't coached in two years with full NIL, House, and Portal. Only good thing for MSU, they avoid OSU next year, but it's no cakewalk:
