Michigan State football finally has their head coach of the future after a dramatic fall saw the Mel Tucker era end abruptly. On Saturday, the Spartans announced the hire of Oregon State head coach Jonathan Smith, the 2022 PAC-12 Coach of the Year and one of the top candidates available right now.

Below, we take a look at some of the best reactions to the hire by Michigan State fans along with media members around the country.
