Cincinnati football coach Luke Fickell will not be Michigan State's next head coach.
Fickell has decided to stay with the Bearcats, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told the Free Press. Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports was first to report the news.
Michigan State athletic director Bill Beekman and members of the MSU search part interviewed Fickell in Cincinnati on Sunday, but he returned to Capital Region International Airport in Lansing without a new head coach.
