Hank Bullough, the former Michigan State football player and assistant coach who had two sons and three grandsons follow his footsteps, died on Sunday at age 85.
"Michigan State has lost a great Spartan and the game of football has lost a coaching legend," said MSU coach Mark Dantonio said in a released statement. "I met Hank the first day I came to Michigan State as an assistant coach in 1995, when he was leaving as the defensive coordinator under Coach Perles. He made an immediate impact on me.
"I had the honor of coaching three of his grandsons in Max, Riley and Byron over a period of nine seasons (from 2010-18), and his son Chuck is currently on our staff.
