To me the big issue is that the failures compounding, I think Fitz is a decent enough HC but he's got 7 years of incompetence before him, I remember when Sparty was almost always ranked and had NFL talent.

The issue is they turned down Bob Chesney to hire Fitzgerald, a guy shrouded in controversy, historical mediocrity, and zero experience coaching in the NIL era

Why would Chesney choose MSU over UCLA?

Not sure how true, but the rumors were MSU turned him down, not the other way around. Then UCLA swooped in a week later and signed him

if they chose Fitz over Chesney I dont feel bad for them and they deserve every bad thing happening to them this season.
