EAST LANSING — Mark Dantonio bet on himself Thursday by shuffling — and keeping — the coaches that helped him build the football program at Michigan State.
Jim Harbaugh, meanwhile, bet on a new voice from Alabama by hiring the Crimson Tide’s co-offensive coordinator, Josh Gattis.
Dantonio promoted quarterbacks coach Brad Salem to offensive coordinator, moved co-offensive coordinator Dave Warner to quarterbacks coach and shuffled everyone else on the offensive staff into new roles, most notably giving former co-offensive coordinator Jim Bollman control of the offensive line and sliding offensive line coach Mark Staten to tight ends.
