Enos named CMU coach. MSU -7 1/2 over Minny

How 'bout that? Dan Enos (center right) is the next head football coach at Central Michigan University. Enos was the RB coach and previously the QB coach at Michigan State; and was the last Spartan QB to lead the school to a Big Ten championship. How will it affect Michigan State? In the upcoming heralded class, Enos was the lead recruiter for Joe Boisture, Taylor Calero, William Gholston, Mylan Hicks, Nick Hill, Jeremy Langford, and Tony Lippett. Who will replace his fire as lead recruiter next year, who has the Spartan blood to sell the program? Further, next year, Michigan State will try to again inch itself into the Big Ten's upper tier -- ESPN makes very good note of the fact that Ohio State, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Joe Pa return an intact core and will be tough to jump on the leaderboard. Clearly, Enos is a good coach - as we saw his skill with both Ed Baker and Larry Caper coming on as the season progressed. Could be worse - we could be scUM or ND.

Spartan Hoops?
Michigan State is an early 7 1/2 point favorite over Minny tomorrow night at the Brezlin. Sparty will win that and improve to 4-0, rolling as the season moves on...

Dan Enos to CMU?

Interesting post on the ES message board; one individual reports that Dan Enos has interviewed to be the head coach at Central Michigan University. Enos is the running back's coach at Michigan State and one of the team's best recruiters. He was a quarterback at Michigan State at the end of our last glory years under George Perles; he helped lead the Big Green to its last conference title about 400 years ago (ok, back in 1990, which is 20 years ago).

As you know, Brian Kelly left GVSU for CMU, and then left CMU for Cincinnati, and then left Cincy for ND. When he left CMU for Cincy, the Chips hired Butch Jones. Jones just left for Cincy to fill Kelly's vacancy. So, will Enos be the next head Chippewa?

Yes, it would be a good pick by the Chips and a tough loss for MSU.
