@joerexrode MSU confirms Dan Roushar is leaving for New Orleans Saints RB job.
the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection

Lloyd would usually "fire" coordinators by finidng NFL position coach gigs for them. I suspect that's what Dantonio did here. If and when Narduzzi leaves, it will probably either be for a HC position or a DC job at a more prestigious school.

Especially with how late he is leaving MSU (spring practice starts in about 4 weeks). I can't imagine Dantonio would allow this to happen unless he wanted him out and already had a replacement in mind

Good loss for Sparty, they could hire teddy ruxpin and it would be an improvement. Who was tressel's o-coordinator and is he available?

Roushar was not the problem there...IIRC they had an "11 win team" and a "clear path to the Rose Bowl" according to my Sparty associates pre-season last year.
Suddenly, it's Dan Roushar that caused their problems? Hardly. How about recruiting more skill than lucking out on LeVeon Bell and a transfer from Tennessee.

Well, the Saints had the 25th best rushing game in the NFL last year and the Spartans had the 95th best offense in Division I, so it's almost a lateral move from an overall performance standpoint. The next question is this - do they hire internally or does Dantonio walk over and sit at Hollis' desk and look desperately constipated for a number of hours before he concedes and offers to pay for an offensive coordinator? It is a shame that he is leaving - few people made Greg Davis look average for $300,000 or so per year.

I'm pretty sure this was Dantonio's way of firing Roushar. Even though it's the NFL, is a RB coach position for a team that isn't run-heavy. I think Roushar took this job because Dantonio told him that he better start looking around.

Really late to go looking for an OC. Unless Dantonio hires someone from in house, it should be interesting because I can't imagine many people will be available unless you open up the bank.
Not to mention with spring practice starting in about 4 weeks, they will have to install a new offense and get position coaches on board with his system.

He was beyond awful for them last year. Pretty astute move by Dantonio IMO. He has ties to the Saints, he needed to get rid of Roushar, but didn't want to have to fire him, so Dantonio got him an interview with an NFL team. With a decent OC, MSU might have won a few more games last year.
