Michigan State Team Report Feb 3, 2012

Every spring, various assistant coaches emerge as media targets based on the state of a team. At Michigan State in 2009, everyone wanted to talk to QB coach Dave Warner about the battle between Kirk Cousins and Keith Nichol. In 2010, people wondered how defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi would fix his defense.

FILE - In this Nov. 12, 2011, file photo, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz looks on during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Michigan State in Iowa City, Iowa. Two straight years of disappointing results, star running backs leaving under a cloud of controversy and the loss of both coordinators would land many coaches on the proverbial hot seat. Not Ferentz, who at 13 years and counting is the Big Ten's longest-tenured coach has the unwavering support of athletic director Gary Barta.

The Big Ten, which helped squash the notion of a four-team playoff to crown a national champion in college football several years ago, is taking another look. "All of the Big Ten athletic directors are comfortable exploring the possibility of a four-team playoff," Hollis said Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2012. "Four is better than two."
