Michigan State LB Edward Warinner laughed when his dad was hired at Michigan

EAST LANSING - As the son of a football coach, Edward Warinner knows changing jobs is part of the business.

This time, however, it was different.

Warinner had already signed with Michigan State's 2018 class and was an early enrollee who arrived on campus in January. A few weeks later, the linebacker's dad, Ed Warinner, was hired to join Jim Harbaugh's staff at rival Michigan.

"It was funny," Warinner said after practice on Thursday. "I laughed, I mean I was happy. It's not a big deal. He can do his thing, I do my thing. I committed before he took the job.
