I don't especially want Tressel, but I think this is missing relevant facts. Narduzzi's last year at MSU was 2014. Tressel was the co-defensive coordinator for three seasons (2015-17) and the sole defensive coordinator for two seasons (2018-19), in addition to being the assistant head coach in 2019. They were FBS Top 10 in total defense and rushing defense in 2017 and 2018. In fact, Michigan State led the FBS in rushing defense in 2018 and was also ranked among the nation’s top 10 in scoring defense in 2018.

I'm with you here. I don't know that tressel is the best guy but I don't think it's clear he's a bad hire either and if Luke hired him I'd trust just judgment.

Tressel is not great in the headset and he had his finger prints all over some of the hijinx that went on around MSU.
