Jonathan Smith out at Michigan State University
Michigan State University fired head football coach Jonathan Smith on Sunday. What We Know The Spartans finished the 2025 season 4-8 and 1-8 in the Big Ten. "The 2025 football season has not lived up to our shared standards for Michigan State Football," athletic director J Batt said in a statement. "While that does not fall solely on Jonathan Smith, it’s become necessary to make a coaching change in order to chart a new direction for the program." The Spartans lost eight of their last nine games to finish 4-8. Smith’s overall record at MSU was 9-15 and just 4-14 in the Big Ten. Smith is due more than $30 million, according to terms of his seven-year contract, and the school will have to spend many millions to find a replacement. The Spartans followed up wins against Western Michigan, Boston College and Youngstown State with an 0-8 start in Big Ten play. They lost to USC, Nebraska, UCLA, Indiana and Michigan by double digits before blowing a late lead and losing at Minnesota by three points in overtime. The only league win came Saturday against Maryland. Smith benched quarterback Aidan Chiles, who followed him from Oregon State, against the Golden Gophers and gave redshirt freshman Alessio Milivojevic a shot to start perhaps with an eye toward the future the coach no longer has at Michigan State.

With Day on the sideline, Ohio State had lost four in a row to Michigan.
