Michigan State Football coach Mel Tucker is putting together his new staff of coaches. Tucker plans on retaining two assistants from the Dantonio era in Mike Tressel and Ron Burton. Burton joins the new staff as the defensive line coach whereas Tressel’s new role has yet to be determined.
Here is a tweet from Mel Tucker on this decision:
I have known @CoachRonBurton & @CoachMikeTress for almost two decades. It's 👊🏾 for #Spartans football to keep them at home. Great coaches. Great recruiters. Great family men. #GoGreen #RELENTLESS https://t.co/9TZZCt0XAm

Initially, Ron Burton was heading to Indiana for a defensive line job. Obviously, this is no longer true. The retention of both Burton and Tressel helps Mel Tucker get up to speed on MSU’s personnel. Plus, Michigan State’s defense was certainly not a key issue last year.
