Michigan State has fired football coach Jonathan Smith two years after hiring him. Athletic director J Batt announced the move Sunday. The Spartans lost eight of their last nine games, finishing 4-8. Smith's overall record at MSU was 9-15, with just 4-14 in the Big Ten. Smith is owed more than $30 million, and the school will need to spend millions more to find a replacement.
