East Lansing – After the worst offensive season in Mark Dantonio’s 12 seasons at Michigan State, the head coach is making some changes.
However, they’re not likely the changes most critics were looking for following a 7-6 season that began with hopes of winning a Big Ten title but ended with a 7-6 loss to Oregon in the Redbox Bowl, the third game out of the final four where the Spartans did not score a touchdown.
Instead of bringing in new blood, Dantonio announced on Thursday a restructuring of the offensive staff, moving quarterbacks coach Brad Salem to sole offensive coordinator while co-offensive coordinator Dave Warner will become the quarterbacks coach, a role he served in through 2012 before his promotion to co-offensive coordinator along with Jim Bollman.
