WATCH: Michigan State football’s new Offensive and Defensive Coordinators speak to media

WATCH: Michigan State football’s new Offensive and Defensive Coordinators speak to media

New Michigan State football head coach brought in an almost entirely new coaching staff this year, with the exception of Courtney Hawkins.

The top hires, of course, are the two top coordinators for the offense and defense. For one of those, Brian Lindgren, Jonathan Smith opted to bring a familiar face with him from Oregon State. For the other, Joe Rossi, Smith opted to steal  a Big Ten veteran away from a rival program at Minnesota.

This week, offensive coordinator Brian Lindgren and defensive coordinator Joe Rossi addressed the media for one of the first times as Michigan State’s top coordinators. You can find both videos below, which were posted by SpartanMag.

Michigan State football offers, gets predictions for 2024 QB

MSU might be on the verge of landing their QB in the 2024 recruiting class:

Michigan State might be on the verge of landing its quarterback for the 2024 recruiting class. The Spartans coaching staff sent an offer to Alessio Milivojevic, a native of Wheaton, Illinois.

Milivojevic is committed to Ball State, but he holds power conference offers from Nebraska and Ole Miss. The signal-caller is a three-star prospect, but after a stellar senior year, he could be in line for a bump.

Shortly after the offer came in, several 247Sports crystal ball predictions followed for the Spartans to land the QB.

Milivojevic would replace Henry Hasselbeck, who decommitted earlier this week, as the Spartans’ quarterback in the 2024 recruiting class.

The Spartans adding a second QB in the 2024 class is not off the table at this time.

Michigan State football has their new offensive coordinator, taking OSU OC Brian Lindgren

Michigan State has its next offensive coordinator:

While the hiring of Jonathan Smith was highly anticipated and getting a new leader of the football program was something fans were really excited to see happen, the most anticipated assistant coach hire for Smith was his offensive coordinator.

It is no secret that the Spartan fan base has gone through the ringer, with the Jay Johnson era going horribly wrong, ending in a program worst performance against Penn State. Getting a new and improved offensive mind was critical for MSU going forward.

Smith has his man, bringing in Brian Lindgren, who has been his offensive coordinator at Oregon State for his whole six year tenure. He will also be responsible for coaching quarterbacks.

Lindgren’s resume is as follows:

2005 Redlands (QB)
2006 Northern Arizona (WR)
2007 Northern Arizona (RB)
2008 Northern Arizona (PGC/QB)
2009–2011 Northern Arizona (OC/QB)
2012 San Jose State (OC/QB)
2013–2015 Colorado (OC/QB)
2016–2017 Colorado (co-OC/QB)
2018–present Oregon State (OC/QB)
