New Michigan State football Jonathan Smith was tasked with the huge task of hiring the next defensive coordinator for the program. This defensive coordinator is going to be challenged with the huge task of having a lot of autonomy over the defense.
Smith has found his man for the job as the Spartans will be hiring Joe Rossi, who has spent the past five seasons as the Minnesota Golden Gophers defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.
Sources: Minnesota defensive coordinator Joe Rossi is expected to become the next defensive coordinator at Michigan State.
