Episode Synopsis

Michigan State University has terminated head football coach Jonathan Smith after two seasons, following a nine-win and fifteen-loss record. Despite a promising start at Oregon State, Smiths tenure at Michigan State was marked by a four-win and eight-loss season, including a one-win and eight-loss record in the Big Ten. Fans criticized his performance against in-state rival Michigan, with the Wolverines winning seven of the last ten games, including the last four consecutive matchups. The university will pay Smith a $33 million buyout. The search for a new coach is ongoing, with the challenge of rebuilding the program and competing in the intense Michigan versus Michigan State rivalry.The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story.
