I’m told Pat Fitzgerald has heavily emphasized a “return to Spartan football” in his first weeks with the program.
He has told staff there will be an enforced expectation of toughness and an embracing of what MSU’s identity was at the program’s peak.
One staffer put it best:
“The chip-on-our-shoulder is back, and that’s because of (Fitzgerald).
He knows what this place was. He knows people don’t think (MSU) can get back there, that he can’t adapt.
He is fired up - like, at an almost alarming level.
He wants to prove everyone wrong and shove it up their ass.”
On Good Friday, we remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This day inspires us to cherish kindness, compassion and always be large hearted. May the spirit of peace and togetherness always prevail.
