Rece Davis could see Michigan State rowing the boat next fall.
Davis — host of ESPN’s “College GameDay” show — revealed a handful of candidates Michigan State should consider for its open head coaching position. The list includes P.J. Fleck of Minnesota.
Here’s what Davis had to say about Fleck and the Spartans chances of making him their next head coach:
“I’m a big fan of PJ Fleck,” Davis said. “I’m not sure that this constitutes a big enough upward mobility for him from Minnesota, but maybe it does. That would be for him to decide.”
Davis considers a move by Fleck as a bit of a long shot, so he also named Pitt’s Pat Narduzzi and Iowa State’s Matt Campbell as others to monitor.
I’m not sure many Spartans fans would be happy about any of these three hires (I personally wouldn’t), but I also wouldn’t be shocked if it ends up being one of these three. Of this group, Fleck would be my personal first choice.
