Sounds like Sparty is about to hire Oregon State’s Jonathan Smith. Could be a good move for both, but I do wonder if Smith can recreate his success at a school that isn’t his alma mater. We shall see, but looks like a solid hire.
OT: Jonathan Smith to MSU?
- Thread starter Max_Rebo
- Start date
He's Mich Sts top target, doesn't mean it will happen though.
How is that a good move for both? It's a good hire for Michigan State but who would want to go coach Oregon State with their conference imploding?
He’s saying good for smith and msu….not OSU
It would potentially be a good move for Smith and Sparty, obviously Ore St is the loser in this scenario.
Kinda wonder if that could open the door for Kirk to look at their OC tho.
Ok gotcha you'll have to excuse me I ate some retard sandwiches for lunch.

Might actually be a good hire for MSU….so hard to tell with every hire, but it feels smart.
Why anyone would want to coach there is mind bottling! Especially a fairly successful coach.
More resources and more money.
Coaches have huge egos and they believe they can fix anything. Problems or not, it is still the Big 10 and Oregon St has basically no conference.
It will be interesting when the numbers come out. He's a solid coach that runs a pro style offense and has a record of reviving a dead program. They'll need to give him time, though.
They will be garbo next year, prob 3-9, possibly 1 or 2 more wins than that. But in 3 years he could have them up to 8-10 wins.
I wonder who follows him. Their all conference RB said he's staying at Oregon State. Aiden Chiles, their backup QB who will be starting next year likely follows to MSU or transfers somewhere in CA.
Their top 3 recievers Gould (WR JR), Bolden (WR JR), and Velling (TE SO) could follow. Also possibly some of the guys on their Joe Moore semifinalist line could transfer with him.
Most of the really good players on D are seniors.

Dang. He was on my short list of potential KF successors. Great hire for Sparty. For our sakes, I hope he's not as successful as I suspect he will be...
It really does. If they can somehow scrap together the PAC throgh the MWC it'll be a long rebuild. OSU caught lightning in a bottle with Smith and unfortunately now they can't afford him.
