Michigan State defensive line coach Ron Burton leaving program

The Michigan State Spartans have another coaching hire to make this offseason.

In a tweet on Sunday, Michigan State defensive line coach Ron Burton announced he would be leaving the program. In the tweet, Burton thanked current Michigan State head coach Mel Tucker, as well as former Spartan head coach Mark Dantonio, for giving him the opportunity to coach at the university. He also explained that he would be looking for new opportunities in the future.

Burton came to MSU as the defensive line coach in 2013. Since then, the team has won two Big Ten championships and appeared in seven bowl games, including four New Year’s Six bowl games and a College Football Playoff appearance.
